What is the expected behavior?

In order to export metrics to GCP, we're trying to setup metric exporting following the README:

var metricExporter = new StackdriverExporter(
    "YOUR-GOOGLE-PROJECT-ID",
    Stats.ViewManager);
metricExporter.Start();

and we should be able to see traces in GCP

What is the actual behavior?

StackdriverExporter doesn't seem to exists. I can't find it looking at the repository either, nor any exporters for metrics. The only one I can find is for traces.

@EricStG, I have crated PR to update our documentation #1286.
I do not think that exporter for metrics was implemented. Only traces exporter is in place.

We are open for contribution if you need it.
The other option is to check if your provider is able to accept OTLP format. If so, you could use https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol
