BACKGROUND
-------------
-This is a different version of the helloworld example, using the old-style .csproj
-files supported by VS2013 and VS2015 (and older versions of mono).
-You can still use gRPC with the old-style .csproj files, but [using the new-style
-.csproj projects](../helloworld/README.md) (supported by VS2017 and dotnet SDK) is recommended.
-
-For this sample, we've already generated the server and client stubs from [helloworld.proto][].

-Example projects depend on the [Grpc](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Grpc/), [Grpc.Tools](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Grpc.Tools/)
