• Install VS 2010 (the installation needs a my.visualstudio.com account. Need to create and then installed to be used.

• Install DevExpress

  • You will need to have an active license to see this:

    

• Enable Net.TCP port-sharing services enabled

• Clone the code from Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/chrisr_devdigital/star-core)

• The app.config in STAR.StarDataAccessLayer has to be changed to the following.

• Create a new branch to develop in, so we don’t get confused about the changes that must be made.

• Use the STAR_L1_DEV_Client_MiddleTier (the WCF services will auto-compile alongside the UI making it much easier to check if the client is working).

• Right now, this has to be changed to the port every time you use boundary to make it connect to the database.

  • connectionStrings

    <connectionStrings>    
    <add name="STAR.StarDataAccessLayer.Properties.Settings.STARConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=127.0.0.1,56436;Initial Catalog=STAR;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=admin;Password=cgpGbRP3DebBnidFXfeRtEwXQ7B4WbuY;"			 providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />    
    <add name="STAREntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/STAR.csdl|res://*/STAR.ssdl|res://*/STAR.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;Data Source=127.0.0.1,56436;Initial Catalog=STAR;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=admin;Password=cgpGbRP3DebBnidFXfeRtEwXQ7B4WbuY;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Application Name=EntityFramework&quot;"			 providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />     
    </connectionStrings>
    

  • appSettings

    <appSettings>    
    <add key="SQLServerInstance" value="127.0.0.1,56436"/>  
    </appSettings>
    
    

If you need to test the WCF services, Visual Studio has a utility for it called wcftestclient
