UWP Universal Windows 10 App
To make it easier to start, you can use the following link to add a Visual Studio project template as an extension
You just have to do that
Then you can create a new UWP project under Visual Studio as
New Project-> Installed-> Visual C # -> Windows Universal
: CommandLine-Activated App (Universal Windows)
Creates a commandline-enabled Universal Windows app. Requires Windows 10 build 16266 or later
In the new project under the project settings:
Minimum Version: Set Windows 10 Case Creators Update (10.0; Build 16299) or higher than Version 1803 (10.0; Build 17134)
The most important app extensions can be found in the Package.appxmanifest
For this you have to enter the uap5 in the <Package> line
.. IgnorableNamespaces="uap mp uap5"> |
And under the Applications block the Executable .exe and the uap5: ExecutionAlias
<Applications> <Application Id="App" Executable="$targetnametoken$.exe" EntryPoint="cmd_UWP_01.App"> ..
<Extensions> <uap5:Extension Category="windows.appExecutionAlias" Executable="cmd_UWP_01.exe" EntryPoint="cmd_UWP_01.App"> <uap5:AppExecutionAlias> <uap5:ExecutionAlias Alias="cmd_UWP_01.exe" /> </uap5:AppExecutionAlias> </uap5:Extension> </Extensions>
</Application> </Applications> |
Start as an Exe File from cmd-Line
Now you just have to open the command prompt with cmd and enter the .Exe directly. (without path)
C:\Users\Raimund>cmd_UWP_01.exe |
In addition, you can now start the UWP App from the task scheduler Task Scheduler
