WebMAP: WinForms to Web is a tool designed to convert .NET Framework apps based on C# and Windows Forms to a modern web architecture. WebMAP WinForms Internal Demos documentation.
This section will explain how to execute some of the demos commonly used for testing on the WebMAP Winforms to Web Converter.
Any of the Demos shown on this guide will require the user to run the tool using the source code, that can be found on each of their sections, and generate a newly converted web solution.
Move to the Output Folder and look for the angular project.
Open the command prompt on that folder
Run the following command to install all the packages and their dependencies to run the UI. This step should only be done once.
1
npminstall
Copied!
The last command will build the UI and should be run after any change done to a component inside the angular folder.
1
npm run build
Copied!
Open the solution on Visual Studio and Build, then Run.
Wait for the site to show you the splash and now you are free to interact with the old demo on Web.
Salmon King Seafood:
Salmon King Seafood (SKS) is a reference App create to show some of the capabilities of the tool on an application that was initially written in VB6 code then converted to Winforms using the Visual Basic Upgrade Companion VBUC from Mobilize.Net and now using WebMAP to run it on Web.
Once the General steps have been followed you should expect the site to look like this.
Execute SKS on Linux environment
1.
As a previous requirement, is necessary install dotnet and nodejs as is mention in the Portability section.
2.
Install SQLITE driver odbc, you can find all instructions to install it from here. You need install odbc and sqlite dependencies before installing it.
3.
Modify connection string on your source code. Change DRIVER=SQLite3 ODBC Driver; Database=Orders.db; to DRIVER=SQLITE3;Database=Orders.db;. Please ensure that no blank space is contained in your connection string.
4.
Compile your angular application, if it isneeded.
5.
Compile and run your SKS C# project.
Execute SKS on Mac eviroment
1.
As a previous requirement, is necessary install dotnet and nodejs as is mention in the Portability section.
2.
Install SQLITE driver odbc, you can find all instructions to install it from here. You need install odbc, odbc manager and sqlite dependencies before installing it.
1.
Please verify the configuration for file odbcinst.ini, it is explained at the MacOSX notes of sqliteodbc's documentation. This file should be similar as the following example:
1
[ODBC Drivers]
2
SQLite3 Driver = Installed
3
​
4
[SQLite3 Driver]
5
Driver = /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3odbc.dylib
6
Setup = /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3odbc.dylib
Copied!
Execute this command odbcinst -j to find where is odbcinst.ini.
3.
Modify connection string on your source code. Change DRIVER=SQLite3 ODBC Driver; Database=Orders.db; to DRIVER=SQLite3 Driver;Database=Orders.db;. Please ensure that no blank space is contained in your connection string.
4.
Compile your angular application, if it is needed.
5.
Compile and run your SKS C# project.
Tailwind:
TailwindPOS is a reference App used for internal testing to show some features available in Winforms now supported on Web as well via the conversion using WebMAP.
TailwindPOS only requires to follow the General Steps and Pre-requisites.
