How to manage Windows Phone 8 Silverlight from PC

Question

I have an application written for automation. I would like to do the following:

• Run the application remotely from PC + USB, preferably using the command
• Running event handlers for specific button presses

Keep in mind that this is a WP8 Silverlight application. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Answer 1

This launches the application from the PC:

XapDeployCmd.exe /launch <Product ID/Xap FileName> <targetdevice[:param]>

You can get targetdevice[:param]from XapDeployCmd.exe /enumerateDevices. You also know Product IDyour application.

This XapDeployCmd is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment

Example

XapDeployCmd.exe /launch f8ce6878-0aeb-497f-bcf4-65be961d4bba /targetdevice:0

To run event handlers

• WAMP ( ) .
• GET/POST script
