Walks you through the process of setting client generation properties, generating console and WPF clients for the MakeCheckAppt service interface, and deploying the WPF client to your enterprise server instance.
Restriction: For service interfaces, the Microsoft Visual Studio Shell supports the generation of console clients only. To generate any other type of client, you must install a full version of Visual Studio.
You can now generate clients to access the MakeCheckAppt service that you deployed to the ESREST
enterprise server instance.
Set Client Generation Properties
The generation process automatically produces a console client; however, you can set an option that enables the additional generation of a WPF client.
- From
Enterprise Developer, click
Tools >
Options.
- Expand
Micro Focus; then click
Service Interfaces.
- Check
WPF Application; then click
OK.
Generate Console and WPF Clients
- From the Solution Explorer, right-click the
MakeCheckAppt service interface; then select
Generate Clients from the context menu.
You can watch the generation process in the Output window. When it is complete, you'll see the message "Generation succeeded". You should see that two projects have been added to the Solution Explorer:
- MakeCheckApptClientApp - the console client.
- MakeCheckApptWPFApp - the WPF client.
Each new project contains the client files required to successfully access the MakeCheckAppt service now running on the ESREST enterprise server.
