My requirement is to generate the xbf files from the xaml application. For that I am searching for the steps that I have to follow. Can anyone please help me in knowing about how to generate xbf files? is there any settings i need to change in properties? I have searched in Google and could find anything related to this..
If any link available, please share it to me.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Karthi
XBF files are automatically generated when you create an App Package.
Go to Project -> Store -> Create App Package. Then, use 7-Zip or some other unzipping function (you can rename the extension of the created package .zip and use the built-in compressed folder tool) and unzip the contents to a folder. The XBF files should be in there.

I followed the guidance in this wiki page to create an application package for my Azure Batch pool, but now my nodes are stuck in an unusable state because it fails to unzip. I can't find anything in the documentation that talks about what kind of compressed file is acceptable here, other than "a zip file".
I have a collection of database files used for some genomic sequencing tools that I have stored in a folder structure, which I created a compressed archive with using tar -zvcf and gave a .zip extension to. That did not work, so I tried uploading the same file with a .tar.gz extension and it also failed.
The Batch Node is running the CentOS image Azure Batch recommends for container applications, and my startup task is not running in the context of the container.
Can anyone point me to documentation or personal experience that helps clarify what kind of files can be used for this? Thank you in advance!
Yes, you are correct, but let me emphasise on the confusion, tar is the different compress archive file format then zip i.e. more detail here: What is the difference between tar and zip? it is mentioned many times in the documentation you mentioned along with
Batch App Package feature only support *.zip format and hence changing file extension from *.tar to *.zip is not the right way as they are 2 different way they get compressed et. al.

Thanks and hope it helps.
I want to verify if certain exe files already exist in a merge module .ism (binary format). Is there a method of doing this without using InstallShield?
An *.ism file is really an MSI file with a changed extension. MSI files in turn are SQL databases stored as COM-structured storage files - a file system inside a single file with file streams for various content. This is the same format used in Office documents.
You can view MSI files with Orca from the Windows SDK: http://www.hass.de/content/how-install-microsoft-orca
Windows Installer XML (WiX) Deployment Tools Foundation (DTF) has an InstallPackage class available that exposes a FindFiles() method. This should be really easy to query the EXE. Just realize that being a merge module you won't know the full installation path as that's decided by the MSI generally.
Both of Chris's suggestions should work fine, as would using Orca. But it got me thinking there might be an even easier way using a tool called Merge Module Finder. It all depends on what you really want to do? Find files already in merge modules? Investigate what merge modules are in an Installshield file? It is not quite clear exactly what you want to do.
Though a bit clunky at times (I think the author hasn't updated it for the latest versions of Windows) it will help you look for a file in a bunch of merge modules interactively. You can also search for a registry value. Here is a screenshot:
I want to use specflow and specrun to parallelize my test execution. I understand I need a profile file with the Execution element set as following: <Execution testThreadCount="2" />.
However, I need a sample profile file to insert the above into. Does anyone know a link for a sample profile file? Perhaps an explanation of the profile settings file and how its used? I understand you can also configure multiple browser version testing with this file also? Please let me know.
If you add the SpecRun.SpecFlow nuget package to your project, it adds a "Default.srprofile" that you can use a starting point.
Now there is a detailed documentation at http://www.specflow.org/plus/documentation/SpecFlowPlus-Runner-Profiles/, that you can look at.
You can also download the nuget package (https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/SpecRun.SpecFlow/1.3.0), open it as zip and in the content folder you will find the template for the Default.srprofile file.
I'm new to node and want to upload directory using node.js. Can anybody please help? Thank You
If it's possible how? and if not then why?
you can upload only files.
however there are workarounds,you can
covert the folder to a zip file (client side), it really depends here on your case.
upload the zip file
then unzip it in the server
you can use google to find out how to do every step of those.
You can use use any Folder uploading library like https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload or https://dropzonejs.com which allows you to Drag and Drop whole directory using HTML5 features.
I want to make a CAB file on a WinCE 5/6 device.
The idea is that someone would run a backup script that creates the CAB file, which can then be loaded back onto the device at any point restoring settings to a previously known point.
The settings are xml and custom files in various folders on the device, I am not talking specifically about registry settings.
If this cannot be done is there (commercially) free ZIP file creation software that could be used?
Thankyou in advance
Chris
DotNetZip is a free zip library that will let you do this.
See also:
zip and unzip files and folders on Mobile Device
Is doing this from the desktop side any good?
You can use this registry tool using ActiveSync. The tool has a nice feature of Reg->CAB. Once you want to restore settings, you can clean the registry using OALIoCtlHalGetHiveCleanFlag and then run the CAB to restore the settings.
I know this does not include the requirement:
run a backup script
But it is a quick solution that might give you an idea.
