Tutorial

A tutorial to demonstrate the WebIndex. The tutorial discusses and explains how to use the WebIndex and WebExpress jobs.

Prerequisites

• Create a WebExpress application after the WebApp tutorial but name it WebExpress.Tutorial.WebIndex.

Compile and register in WebExpress

• Compile the solution as a release. To do this, open the command line or terminal in the solution directory and run the following command:

  dotnet build --configuration Release

  This command compiles the solution in release mode. You can find the compiled files in the bin/Release directory of your project.

• Run the solution by starting the WebIndex.App project.

  cd WebIndex.App\bin\Release\net9.0
  dotnet run --project ../../../WebIndex.App.csproj

• After compiling, there should be a file with the .wxp extension in the pkg/Release directory. This file do you need in WebExpress.

Try the application

• Check the result by calling up the following URL in the browser: http://localhost/webindex

Good luck!
