Universal Windows 10: Screen Scraping an HTML Table into a List

Screen Scraping tools have been around for some time.  These enable an app to download HTML source and extract specific entities from an HTML page.  Given that an HTML table IS structured data it shouldn’t be hard to programmatically extract a table. It could be done with Linq queries to teh page text. This blog uses the HTMLAgilityPack’s HtmlDocument  in a Universal Windows app to extract an HTML table directly into a list of  a matching class.

Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 is now available

For those who have missed this, its at https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2015-update2-vs.aspx

 

I think that these two improvements are gems:

  • Universal Windows SDK Version Picker. When creating a new UWP project, you can now select the version of the Windows SDK to target as well as the minimum OS version on which the apps are to be available.
  • Debugging C++ Background Task in Universal Windows Apps. You can now debug Background task processes in a Universal Windows app in Visual Studio. You can access this option on the project Properties Debug tab.

 

PS: Has anyone tried Compact 2013 Platform Builder and App Development with this release.  Have they made it through unscathed?

I’ll try Iot-Core tomorrow.

Win 10 Phone: Universal Windows Apps Sideloading - Winappdeploycmd: (Further Updated)

In a previous blog I dicussed discussed in detail deployment of an app to a Windows 10 Phone.  One of the options, Sideloading required the winappdeploycmd tool that is installed with the Windows 10 SDK.  I suggested that maybe you could just install winappdeploycmd as its .msi installing is a separate entity in the SDK installation files.  I now have tested this.

Universal Windows Windows App: Create A Project Test Certificate

Visual Studio automatically creates a Test Certificate when the project is created. But in moving the code around, especially to and from a repository you might need to create a new one. Also, the default certificate that Visual Studio generates expires one year after the date on which the certificate was created. Before the certificate expires, you must use the App Manifest Designer to either regenerate the certificate or to create a new one. Without this you can’t create an AppX package for app installation. Here’s how to create a Test Certificate.

Unlocking a Windows Phone

I purchased some Windows 10 Phones for business use where they are to run a custom UWP business app.  Being about $100 they are quite economic but they were locked to local Telco, Optus (Australia). The Telco would give you the unlock key for $90 but I found an online site that could do it for about $20.

 

The key take home is that the instructions for implementing it as per the Telco and as per the source of the key I used, did not work for me but there is a simple method that worked for me that others had used with AT&T:

Another GEM: Microsoft SQL Server Credentials for a Remote Web Service

It was simple enough to get access to a Microsoft  SQL Server from a Web Service when all were running on the same machine. You use Windows Authentication. But when the services are both running locally, with the user running a Windows 10 Universal app that calls the web service, they won’t be logged in an so the web service needs credential for the SQL service.
