# Differences from Python

## Agents Self-Interact
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When an agent sends a message of a type to which it also listens:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```csharp
|
||
|
|
[TopicSubscription("default")]
|
||
|
|
public class MyAgent(
|
||
|
|
IAgentWorker worker,
|
||
|
|
[FromKeyedServices("EventTypes")] EventTypes typeRegistry
|
||
|
|
) :
|
||
|
|
Agent(worker, typeRegistry),
|
||
|
|
IHandle<Message>
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
async Task SomeInternalFunctionAsync()
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
Message m;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
await this.PublishMessageAsync(m);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
public async Task Handle(Message message)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
// will receive messages sent by SomeInternalFunctionAsync()
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```

## 'Local' Runtime is Multithreaded
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike the `single_threaded_runtime`, the InProcess (`local: true`) runtime for .NET is multi-threaded, so messages will process in arbitrary order across agents. This means that an agent may process messages sent after the termination request has been made unless checking for termination using the `IHostApplicationLifecycle` service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## No equivalent to 'stop_when_idle()'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Agents need to request termination explicitly, as there is no meaningful 'idle' state.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## All message types need to be Protocol Buffers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
