I am going to create an WPF application that simualates the Coded UI Test for Windows Phone 8.1.
I created a Coded UI Test project for Windows Phone inside Visual Studio 2013 and I understood it code.
So I want to simulate this technology on my WPF application without running VS2013. I could run the Windows Phone emulator without running VS2013 by opening the XDE.exe but know I need to know how to connect to this WP emulator from my WPF application?
So how can I do it, please help me. Thank you so much!.
I've just started working on Windows Phone. Can anyone help me access my project database?
I've tried with ISETool.exe
I did this:
ISETool.exe ts xd 77a80316-355d-40dc-a8c3-c4054676e85c "C:\Users\user\Desktop\isostore"
but I'm getting an error in cmd:
The application is not installed
I've also tried using WP7 Isolated Storage Explorer from:
http://wp7explorer.codeplex.com/
But it doesnt see any devices or emulators.
It's Windows Phone 7 project. I've opened it in Visual Studio 2012 running on Windows 8.
It's frustrating loosing so much time on such a basic thing. Please help!
I've had success with Windows Phone Power Tools in the past. Even though the project is labeled "for WP8" it still works with 7.5 on Windows 8 with the WP8 SDK installed.
The WPF Performance Suite is described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969767.aspx#installing_the_wpf_performance_suite
-> how can I install it on Windows 8?
(the Windows 7 SDK can't be installed and the Windows 8 SDK contains Performance tools such as GPUView but not the WPF profilers "Perforator" and "Visual Profiler".
I googled several hours for it but didn't find anything.
Ok, I have it running under Windows 8, but afaik only for framework 4.
Download the tools (link borrowed from Athari above)
Install and it test. Select visual profiler and attach to a process. If it doesn't appear to work, download this patch from MS.
After installing the patch I now have it working again. This is on Windows 8 pro running on a Dell XPS 17 i7 based machine.
it comes as a pack of Windows Performance Toolkit (WPT) v5 for Windows 8

here is the download

I managed to get everything downloaded and working under Windows 10 with a .NET 4.5 WPF app.
Follow instructions from Microsoft at Where to Download WPF Performance Suite? (Perforator, Visual Profiler). You need to install both the app, and its timezone patch.
You must run the WPF profile app before you run the target app.
Try running the target app as Administrator. It needs elevated privileges, or else it will not appear in the Select Process dialog.
If you cannot run the target app as Administrator, then you can still use
Actions..Launch Process to launch it.
Visual Studio 2015 comes with "Timeline", which by my estimation roughly provides the same features as Visual profiler. It can profile WPF on .net4+, including 4.5, 4.6.
It can be started by
To profile a WPF application in Visual Studio 2015 CTP 5, open the Performance and Diagnostics hub from the Debug -> Start Diagnostic Tools Without Debugging (ALT+F2) menu. Select the Application Timeline tool and click Start (You can also run the CPU Usage tool alongside the Application Timeline tool).

as the release notes of Pex show, it is possible to test Windows Phone Apps.
Now I created a very basic Windows Phone app and wanted to test a simple method in it with Pex (Run Pex). I'm using Visual Studio 10 Ultimate and Silverlight 5.
After I've pressed Run Pex, no test cases are created. But some errors are appearing.
It says that file:///c:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\5.1.10411.0\System.Windows.dll or a dependency to that is not found. But the file exists. Anyone has an idea how I can help myself?
Consider I'm a newbie in WP7-Silverlight development, so please be patient if I'm asking something really stupid.
Yesterday I decided to start studying WP7, so on my
Windows Seven 64bit
Visual Studio 2010 Professional SP1
I installed all the required tools:
Windows Phone 7 SDK 7.1
Windows Phone 7 SDK 7.1.1 patch
Watching some Microsoft guide I saw ComboBox control that's now missing as you can read in
Drop Down List Windows Phone 7
Problem with Windows Phone ComboBox Style
So I downloaded Silverlight 5 Toolkit - December 2011 and installed it.
Curiously when I start a new WP7-Silverlight application I can't see ListPicker in my toolbox.
So I tried to manually load it in toolbox referencing C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Toolkit\dec11\Bin\System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit.dll, but I get an error stating it's missing some references.
It's something I'm doing wrong, I'm sure... but I really don't know what.
ListPicker exists in Windows Phone toolkit, you downloaded the wrong binaries from codeplex,
