I have a solution with multiple projects. One of them is a WPF project, which I'd like to deploy via Kudu.
I have set the desired project to be deployed via app settings as per kudu doc instructions. E.g. WebProject/WebProject.csproj
But kudu deploys the wrong project, because it is the before-mentioned WPF/Windows Application type.
Is there a way where I can make some sort of configuration, so kudu can build my WPF project and deploy it?
I followed this guide, which worked quite brilliantly.
Basically you simple build your WPF project on your local machine, and put the output files in a MVC project folder. You then use Kudu to deploy your MVC project, and from there you can see your WPF application.
Just remember to include your WPF build files in the WPF project, since they will be excluded by default.

How can we automate wpf application because in my organization I am using the application which opens through the link which we paste in the browser we don't have EXE file for that so it's getting very tedious task to automate that using selenium, can anyone help if you have any idea
I want to automate application which opens through URL but it's not web application.
If there is a WPF application there should be an exe.
May be your organization environment like when we paste URL on web it downloads the binaries(exe and dll's) at some location on your local machine and after that it is stating the WPF exe application.
In that case if you are a developer then when we build a project then all DLL and exe files found in bin\release folder. you have to pickup these local files for automation instead of deployed environment.
I have also faced same issue in my organization I build the WPF application on my local machine and I got the exe and DLL on it.
After that I did automation through WinAppDriver on it using Visual Studio with Unit Test Project.
I'll give you sample application and steps to do the WPF application automation.
Visit below GitHub project to achieve WPF application automation.

I have a task to make large Silverlight project run out of browser.
Fortunatelly I don't have to rewrite it to some other technology. Unfortunatelly I can not understand how to make it work OOB. I tried everything that's in guides :
enabling OOB option, installing and tryiung to debug installed app, but main thing is that when I run this app OOB I can't reach any services (no matter how I try HTML Bridge is disabled in OOB).
Is there a way to reach those services (like https://localhost/WCFRest/GetUserInfo?login=somelogin&password=somepassword) from OOB enviroment?
What should I do to reach them?
I'm sorry if this is noob quetion but I can't ask anyone else.
I assume you have a Web project in your solution. I think you changed the startup project to the silverlight project. You need to start up the Web project too.
Do the following:
Right click on the solution in the Solution Explorer and select Properties.
Select "Multiple startup projects" and set the action to "Start" (on the web project)
Or just simply right click on a HTML or ASPX file in the web project and select "View in Browser".
I needed some inputs on mobile apps.
Query: I have an existing web application on AEM(angularJS is not used). I want to transform the same on Mobile app using AEM6.1
While reading through the documentation section of AEM Apps, I found that the mobile App built on AEM
- works on the terminology and AngularJS framework.
- mobile App has different paths and app structure as compared to AEM web Applications
-since, phonegap has to be used, relative path needs to be different than the same of web application.
I am in a dilemma as If I would be able to convert my existing web app into a mobile App or not. If anyone of you has done some research on this, it would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!!!

You can very well convert your AEM desktop application to a mobile app(site should be responsive).
AEM makes use of Cordova (PhoneGap) and ContentSync framework to create apps for both android and iOS. More about how to config ContentSync here. In simple terms, ContentSync packages your application(/content, /apps, /etc,...) based on defined set of configurations and cordova(phonegap) helps you access native phone capabilities and to create the archive file (apk/ipa). There is more than one way to create an app using AEM.
1. Using Cordova CLI :
You setup a cordova project in your filesystem. Then create contentsync configuration for your AEM project. Generate and download the application archive from here. Cordova project you had setup earlier will have the below folder structure.
Place the contents of archive file inside www folder, modify config.xml according your application and initiate build. Using this method, you will require an Apple system to generate .ipa file since it makes use of xcode and windows makes use of npm node js for the initial dev env setup.
2. Using OOTB 'Initiate phonegap build' workflow and AEM cloud config
This is an easy approach and does not require you to setup any cordova project in your system. All you have to do is setup contentsync configuration, add a few properties for the workflow to recognise your project and then trigger the workflow. Follow this.
3. Using Apps console in AEM 6.1
This also makes use of ContentSync underneath. Apps console makes the app very easy to maintain and configure, it also has inbuilt configurations for push notification, deep linking etc. Go through the info here. Refer to the sample geometrixx-outdoors project created in apps console, will help you understand better.
PS: Cordova and phonegap are the same. You can think of Cordova as Linux kernel and PhoneGap as linux distribution.
I have a Silverlight app made in Visual Studio 2010 and I want to put it on a website but I don't have the slightest clue how.
I've looked at all the msdn documentation and they all mention a .xap file that is the file you use on the website but there is no .xap and I can't find out how to compile my code into a .xap file.
Also, when I run the App and look at the source in the browser, it has my code compiled into the .xap file, but there is no .xap file!
So my question is simply how do you go about getting a Silverlight app on a website because I've been trying for hours and I can't figure it out.
A sample html or aspx page is included when you create the solution. This is the page that the browser navigates to when you hit F5. You can take that page as a basic example of how to embed a Silverlight app in a page. You should find it in the project folder.
Silverlight projects are commonly built into a XAP file when you hit "Build" in VS. This file lives in the bin/Release or bin/Debug folder and basically contains your whole application.
Steps to create a silverlight application Hosted in a web site,
Select Silverlight Application Template while adding new project in VS2010
When you click Ok, ensure that Host the Silverlight application in a new web site is Checked.(It will create a new ASP.Net web application to host the Silverlight)
If you haven't checked the Host the Silverlight application in a new web site option, you can add a new ASP.Net Web application project and then go to its properties and select Silverlight Applications option in left pane. Then Click Add, select your Silverlight Application to be hosted and click ok. You are done now.
But If haven't selected the Silverlight Application Template, then you might have created a Silverlight Class Library. It wont generate any xap file. It just gives a dll. So you need to recreate a project as mentioned above.
I believe that in Silverlight whenever you create a project, right at the beginning, it will ask you if you want to create a web app automatically. If you chose yes, something like YOUR_PROJECT_NAME.web will be created, go into that folder, you will find a folder called ClientBin.
The .xap file will be inside that folder.

I'm new to WPF, and created a 1st simplistic WPF application that I want it to run in a webbrowser, IE or Fox.
1 - Within the Visual Studio project, I created a /Images folder with a few .jpg files
On the WPF xaml form I have 1 image and 1 button.
When application starts, the image displays /Images/img1.jpg
When User clicks the button the image must display /Images/img2.jpg
How can I force the VS publisher to include the Images folder? Apparently I can't see it in the ApplicationFiles ?
2 - Though I was able to program and run this small app on my local computer, I'm getting lost when it comes to deploying to my hosting ASP where I have a Windows hosting account that runs .NET 3.5!
From Microsoft WPF website they say I shall deploy 3 files:
"The Application Executable .exe
The Deployment Manifest .xbap
The application Manifest .manifest
The .xbap file contains the information that ClickOnce uses to deploy the application and has the .xbap extension."
But I can's see no .xbap files at all within the published stuff!!!
Any clue please?
To answer your first question:
The images will be embedded in the compiled application, so you will not see the images in the application files.
Note:
The build action of images added to your project is 'Resource' by default - leave this as is.
Do not use the resources tab in the Project properties window, just drop and drag the images into the Images folder in the solution explorer.
To help answer your second question:
Did you create the project as an WPF Browser Application?
In your .csproj file you should see the following:
<HostInBrowser>true</HostInBrowser>
<Install>False</Install>
<ApplicationExtension>.xbap</ApplicationExtension>
<TargetZone>Internet</TargetZone>
If not, just recreate the project as a WPF Browser Application and copy your files from the existing project to the new one.
