Select a template

Open visual studio and choose “create a new project”. You will notice that there are new templates available. On the left hand side, you can choose the programming language- the templates are available in C# and Visual Basic.

Here is a quick overview of the different template types:

Wisej.NET Web Desktop Application: Creates an application that resembles a Windows desktop with a taskbar
Wisej.NET Web User Control: Creates a UserControl, which is a control that can be used in multiple places throughout your application
Wisej.NET Web Application: Creates a web application with a window that is displayed within the browser.
Wisej.NET Hybrid Remote Application: Creates a Hybrid application that runs on a remote web server. Hybrid applications can run on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
Wisej.NET Hybrid Client Application: Creates a hybrid client. This template is used with the Wisej.NET Hybrid Remote Application or Wisej.NET Hybrid Local Application template.
Wisej.NET Hybrid Local Application: Creates a Hybrid application that runs locally on the device. Hybrid applications can run on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
Wisej.NET Web Page Application: Creates a blank web application.
Wisej.NET PWA Web Application: Creates a Web application with a main page similar to the Web Page Application. However, this template adds all the JavaScript parts and the manifest files necessary for the browser to recognize it as a Progressive Web Application (PWA).

For this tutorial we will use the Wisej.NET Web Page Application template.

After choosing your template, click "Next" You will see this screen, which lets you choose the project name, solution name and location:

Note that the project name and solution name are often identical but do not have to be. A solution can contain multiple projects. For more information on the difference between a project and a solution, see here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/solutions-and-projects-in-visual-studio?view=vs-2022

Click "create"

Here you can configure a few options before clicking "OK"

Target frameworks: specifies the particular version of the .NET platform that a project is built to run on. Note that for Wisej 3, .NET Framework 4.8 must be one of the target frameworks.
Add mobile viewport: Adds a line to the Default.html that makes the app fit the screen on any device size
Enable Docker support: Docker allows you to debug your Wisej application on Linux.
Enable HTTPS: installs a developer certificate to be able to use HTTPS with Kestrel and IIS Express (or regular IIS as well).
