What is it?

CSRedis is a .NET client for Redis, targeting both .NET Core and .NET Framework 4.0+. It exposes method names that match redis-cli commands, so developers familiar with the Redis command set can use it without learning a new naming scheme.

The library covers standalone servers, Redis Sentinel with master-slave setups, and Redis Cluster. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous clients, supports geo and stream commands on newer server versions, and includes pipelines, pub/sub with pattern subscriptions, and a cache-shell helper. A RedisHelper static class and an IDistributedCache adapter (Caching.CSRedis) are available for ASP.NET Core integration.

Connection behaviour is configured through a connection string covering password, default database, key prefix, pool size and timeouts.

Key features

  • 01Method names match redis-cli commands
  • 02Supports standalone, Sentinel with master-slave, and Redis Cluster
  • 03Synchronous and asynchronous clients
  • 04Geo and stream commands on supported Redis versions
  • 05Pipelines and pattern-based pub/sub
  • 06IDistributedCache adapter for ASP.NET Core

Use cases

  • Connecting a .NET application to a Redis server or cluster
  • Using Redis as a distributed cache in ASP.NET Core
  • Running high-throughput async writes through pipelining
  • Building pub/sub messaging between .NET services

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install the CSRedisCore NuGet package

    dotnet add package CSRedisCore
  2. 2

    Create a client with your Redis connection string

Things to know
