WPF Client

WPF client project

After generating a client, Enterprise Developer adds a client project to the solution that contains your service interface. The name of the project is myServiceWPFApp, and contains the following components:

References folder

The project references required to run the WPF client application.

Helper folder

Additional COBOL programs and copybooks required to run the WPF client application.

myServiceApp.xaml

A WPF XAML file that marks the entry point of the client application.

myServiceApp.xaml.cbl

The code-behind page for myServiceApp.xaml.

myServiceWin.xaml

A WPF XAML file that defines the visual presentation of the client.

myServiceWin.xaml.cbl

The code-behind page for myServiceWin.xaml.

corplogo.ico

A Micro Focus logo icon used in the visual presentation of the client

Editing a WPF client

To enhance its appearance and usability, you can optionally edit a WPF client component from Enterprise Developer by double-clicking a client component from the Solution Explorer.

Running a WPF client

You can run a WPF client directly from your project using the Enterprise Developer Debugger. Before doing so, ensure that:

• The enterprise server instance configured to run the service is associated with the project that contains your service interface (.svi) file
• The enterprise server instance is started
• Your service interface is deployed to the enterprise server instance
• The WPF client project is set as the startup project

When you start the Debugger, Enterprise Developer automatically builds the client project and executes it.
