Sorry for the delay.

I think you are using one of the releases (5.2?) which was build before the changes in the 6.X API were the connect API was removed. This was fixed in 35837db (a while ago ^^;)

We always built from source, and the master branch works fine with the 6.2 and 6.3 releases.

I'll try to spin out a new release of both the nuget package and tools, but in the mean time, you could try checking out the master branch, and rebuilding it?

Be aware that the API has changed a lot since mid-2019, especially regarding the directory layer and caching of subspaces (in an attempt to fix a major issue that the previous versions had). This means that the "documentation" is now completely out of date. I'll try to fix it at some point, but in the mean time, you can use one of the samples, or the unit tests as a reference? Look for usage of the FdbPath which is used to represent a "path" in the directory layer, and is used as the key to the directory layer to obtain an actual subspace instance from the cache.
