Support for the old protocol for .net standard clients?

[andrewhenry3]

Just making sure that I'm not missing a possibility, here. Is there a way to connect a .net 5/6 client to servers using the old RIA Services protocol? It looks like servers have to either use soap endpoints or the 5.1 version of the binary protocol to work with .net standard clients.

That is correct. I would recommend trying to upgrade the server to openriaservices since WCF RIA ​ services has reached end of support.

If you really need it, you can modify the code and build your own version, which can use the old uri format

I have a working 4.6 openriaservices server so I didn't think upgrading would be a big deal, but I've gone down the wrong path a couple times. First tried to get a .net standard server, then tried updating the client to .net 5 without updating the server.
I guess I need to update client and server to 5.1 at the same time, hopefully without have to change too much else. Getting everything working with Async will be enough trouble.

I recommend you to start updating to 5.0. See the changlog with hints for upgrading. The async server changes should be quite straightforward, and only requires code changes if you overrode any of the methods which is now async.

Making the overrides async should be somewhat straightforward with changing name and adding async and await keywords.
