If you are creating a new function, see the Console Quickstart on Cloud Run. The content on this page only applies to existing legacy functions created with the Cloud Functions v1 API.

Specify dependencies in .NET
.NET Cloud Run functions use
Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) project files.
These files are central to the build and deployment
process. For C# the file extension is .csproj, for F# it is .fsproj, and
for Visual Basic it is .vbproj.
For example, here is the .csproj file for the C# Hello World sample:
You can add libraries to your function's project file as follows:
dotnet add package MY_LIBRARY
The Functions Framework is a
required dependency for all functions. Although Cloud Run functions
installs it on your behalf when the function is created, we recommend
that you include it as an explicit dependency for clarity.
If your function relies on private dependencies, we recommend that you
mirror functions-framework to your private registry. Include the mirrored
functions-framework as a dependency to your function to avoid installing the
package from the public internet.
