I convert desktop apps to Universal Windows Platform apps with Desktop Bridge.
I have file .appx And Floder PackageFiles.
I know .appxupload make by zipped .appx and .appxsym (public symbols), renamed to '.appxupload'.
But How to create .appxsym file.
But How to create .appxsym file.
You can use PDBCopy.exe to copy all PDB files related to all dll, exe or winmd libraries without private symbols. This tool takes a symbol file that contains both private symbol data and a public symbol table, and creates a copy of that file that contains only the public symbol table.
These PDB symbols can be zipped into .appxsym file.
When generate your package using Visual Studio, checking the includes the symbols allows you to generate the appxupload file ready to submit to the Store:
For the details, see Package a .NET app using Visual Studio (Desktop Bridge).
A regular .appx file can be submitted to the Store as well, although there will be no crash analytic or debugging information available.

I was downloading Revit models from BIM360 team hub via ForgeAPI using the following uri.
https://developer.api.autodesk.com/oss/v2/buckets/:bucketKey/objects/:objectName
All my objectName ended with .rvt. So I downloaded and saved them as rvt file.
However I noticed that some of the files cannot be opened by Revit. They are actually not rvt files but zip files. So I have to change the extension to .zip and unzip the file to get real 'rvt` files.
My Problem is that not all files is zip file. I cannot tell from the API because the URI I request is always ended with .rvt.
Every Unix OS provides the file command, a standard utility program for recognising the type of data contained in a computer file:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_(command)
A zip file is directly recognised and reported like this:
$ file test_dataset.zip
test_dataset.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
A Revit RVT model is a Windows compound document file, so it generates the following output:
$ file little_house_2021.rvt
little_house_2021.rvt: Composite Document File V2 Document, Cannot read section info
Hence you can use the same algorithm as file does to distinguish between RVT and ZIP files.
Afaik, file just looks at the first couple of bytes in the given file.
The Python programming language offers similar utilities; try an Internet search
for distinguish file type python; the first hits explain
How to check type of files without extensions in Python
and point to the filetype Python project.
Other programming languages can provide similar functionality.
I am using Enterprise Architecture to generate C++ classes.
Every time I do a Generate Code, it forces me to navigate to the directory I want to save the files to. Is there a configuration setting for a project or model to tell it to always generate the files to directory X?
Using 'Auto Generate Files' (in the Code generation window) should set the path name to the files automatically, and once a file path is selected, you wouldn't have to select the directory again.
I'm running my program on AIR. I want my game to save the high score to a text file so it can be stored when the program is closed. I've tried using filestreams, however I've found that the application directory is read only. Is there a better way to do this?
The AIR application storage directory is designed for saving these sorts of preferences and user settings:
For every AIR application, there is a unique associated path that
defines the application storage directory. This directory is unique to
each application and user. You can use this directory to store
user-specific, application-specific data (such as user data or
preferences files).
Access it through the File class:
var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
file = file.resolvePath("prefs.xml");
See also: Reading from and writing to an XML preferences file
The only caveat I have found with using this directory is that it does not get removed when the AIR app is uninstalled using the .air installer/uninstaller.
I want to build all my reports project and copy .rdl files to other location.
I am using MSBuild.Engine for same.
Engine engine = new Engine();
// Point to the path that contains the .NET Framework 2.0 CLR and tools
engine.BinPath = #"c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727";
// Instantiate a new FileLogger to generate build log
FileLogger logger = new FileLogger();
// Set the logfile parameter to indicate the log destination
logger.Parameters = #"logfile=C:\temp\build.log";
// Register the logger with the engine
engine.RegisterLogger(logger);
// Build a project file
bool success = engine.BuildProjectFile(#"xyz.rptproj");
//Unregister all loggers to close the log file
engine.UnregisterAllLoggers();
if (success)
Console.WriteLine("Build succeeded.");
else
Console.WriteLine(#"Build failed. View C:\temp\build.log for details");
Also I am getting error that cannot build this project.
Error log says below:
error MSB4041: The default XML namespace of the project must be the MSBuild XML namespace. If the project is authored in the MSBuild 2003 format, please add xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" to the <Project> element.
Can someone help or suggest me?
Thanks
This may not be the best answer, but you could create a blank class library project in visual studio, for build and install purposes. Add each RDL file to the project, they can exist on another project so the link (file path in the .csproj) to the file can point to where they actually live on another project in source control. Mark each file as "content" and to "copy always". After that is saved and part of a solution, you can call MSbuild to build that project and use the content output of the build, or this can also be used in an installer to use the content output from the project and specify where you want the install folder to live.
I'm building an AIR app where some functionality depends on renaming the app executable in the filesystem, and detecting whatever name the executable has when it's launched. I don't need to detect changes while the app is running, if that makes any difference, and I don't need the path or extension — just the name.
If the executable was the only item in its folder, I could get the Application Directory from the File class and go from there. But it would be ideal to have a solution where there may be more than one copy of this AIR executable in a folder, each renamed to something unique.
I've looked at the NativeApplication class, the System class, the File class, and any other class that seems related to this issue, to no avail. The closest I've come is getting the Filename from the Application Descriptor XML, but that only reflects the default name the application is given when published.
So, how I can get the exact current filename of an AIR app at launch?
EDIT: To be more specific, on a Mac this executable would be the .app file, and on Windows this would be the .exe file.
EDIT2: loaderInfo.url won't work — it gives the name of the SWF file running within the AIR app, not the name of the containing AIR app/exe. If you're on a Mac, you can see this SWF file by opening the package contents of the AIR app, and looking in the Resources folder.
Use the following process:
Use the class XSLTProcessor, with HTMLLoader if necessary
Create an XSLT stylesheet which applied to the <filename> element
Apply it to the application descriptor file
