I was trying to inject an IConnectionFactory and then use it to create a connection.
But the HostName property of the ConnectionFactory is missing on the IConnectionFactory interface.

Reproduction steps

This code

IConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ConnectionFactory();connectionFactory.HostName = "hostName";

leads to the compilation error

CS1061'IConnectionFactory' does not contain a definition for 'HostName' and no accessible extension method 'HostName' accepting a first argument of type 'IConnectionFactory' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Expected behavior

The property HostName of the ConnectionFactory is available on the IConnectionFactory interface.
Therefore the above code compiles without any error.

We cannot suggest much since you haven't shared what version you use. We do not guess in this community.

Inmain (future 7.0), this is the case becauseindividual connection methods accept a list of endpoints to use. This is a reasonable API design choice.

I'm using version 6.8.1, sorry for not including that information.

Actually I don't even need a suggestion what to do, because in the end I had to use the CreateConnection overload with IEnumerable for totally different reasons anyway.

The HostName property is used in many examples, although not on the interface but on the class. So for the sake of correctness I wanted to let you know about the missing property. Should be an easy fix after all.

But feel free to reject this issue if you don't think it is relevant.
