Setting Up Your System for Review

Will Granger edited this page Jul 25, 2019 · 1 revision

It doesn't take much to get started with the touch table app.

The following items are required:

  • Windows system that can open an .exe
  • Visual Studio
  • 16:9 aspect ratio display setting
  • Touch screen monitor
  • Local database of subjects

When opening the app on Visual Studio, you'll likely run across an unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store or Metadata file ...GalaxyZooTouchTable.exe could not be found error. There's a checklist of items to go through that should remove these errors.

  • Visit the properties page of the app (right click the project name under solution explorer to the right and select "properties" at the bottom). From there, access Security and deselect "Enable ClickOnce security settings."
  • Visit the properties page of the app. Access Signing and deselect "Sign the ClickOnce manifests." Note: It isn't imperative to have these two security settings in place as you're only reviewing code.
  • Clean and rebuild the app from the Build tab at the top.
  • Restart Visual Studio.

You'll also need to follow the Wiki article on setting up a local database on your local system. It isn't imperative to have subjects locally, but it does improve performance for a production build.

Your app should run if all items above are in place. You should be all set to review that the code is written well and performs as intended.
