gRPC: vcpkg and NuGet packages

[veronicagarciavazquez]

If we create a project in Visual Studio 2019 with NuGet packages Google.Protobuf (version 3.13.0) and Grpc.Core (version 2.30.0), can we overwrite \bin\x64\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\runtimes\win\native\grpc_csharp_ext.x64.dll with grpc_csharp_ext.dll (renamed as \grpc_csharp_ext.x64.dll) generated with vcpkg (grpc 1.29.1 and protobuf 3.12.3) and the triplet x64-windows? Which versions of vcpkg (grpc and protobuf) and the NuGet packages Google.Protobuf and Grpc.Core are compatible regarding grpc_csharp_ext.dll?

I have done that and I have the following error in Visual Studio:

Unhandled exception. System.IO.IOException: Error loading native library "C:\example\example\bin\x64\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\runtimes/win/native\grpc_csharp_ext.x64.dll".
