Your application has been deployed. The local address for the application is “http://localhost/northwind”.

Full Trust

Note: Applications created with Code On Time generator that have reporting enabled will add a line in the web.config file of your project that requires full trust on the server. This will ensure high performance when generating reports. If you do not permit full trust to the application, then you will encounter an error stating “That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers”. To disable the requirement for full trust, open the Project Wizard and switch to the Web Server page. Paste the following into the Web.Config modification instructions.

Delete: /configuration/system.web/trust
<nothing/>

Then proceed to regenerate and redeploy the app.

Deployment: Opening Firewall Ports

If the application is configured to run on your computer, then you can access the app locally as “http://localhost/northwind”.

Visiting a locally accessible web app.

If your application is deployed to a Windows Server, then the firewall rule for external HTTP traffic has been enabled. This occurs when the Web Server (IIS) role is added to the server configuration. You will be able to access your application on external desktop and mobile devices.

If your application is deployed to a Windows 7/8 machine, you will need to enable the firewall rule using the steps below.

Press the Start button on your keyboard, and type in “firewall”. Select “Windows Firewall with Advanced Security” from the result list.

Starting Windows Firewall with Advanced Security configuration tool.

In the left pane, select “Inbound Rules”. Scroll to the bottom of the list and find “World Wide Web Services (HTTP Traffic-In)”. In the right pane, click “Enable Rule”.

Configuring a Custom Logo in Touch UI Apps

A web app with Touch UI displays a small logo on the left side of the tool bar next to the Home button. The logo is also displayed in the same spot on tablets and desktop devices.The color of the logo depends on the user interface theme. A separate “icon” logo is displayed by mobile devices on the home screen if a web app has been installed to run in a full screen mode.

The screenshot shows a standard colorful logo of a web app displayed on full screen of iPod Touch.

This is an icon of installed web app as displayed by iPad Air.

The standard logo files can be found in the ~/touch folder of Web Site Factory and Mobile Factory applications.

The same files are found in ~/WebApp/touch folder of Web App Factory projects.

Azure Factory applications keep the logo files in ~/WebRole1/touch folder.

Replace the files with your own images for a customized look.

Create logo-black.png, logo-color.png, and logo-white.png images with the size 120 x 54 and copy them over the standard files to replace the logo on the toolbar.

Create logo-icon.png with the size 196 x 196 and replace the corresponding file for a custom application icon.

Here is an example of a custom logo that we are using to modify the standard toolbar images. Our file has a transparent background. We have used exactly the same image for all three logos displayed on the toolbar.

This is how the new logo looks in a live application.

If the the standard size of the logo is tool small, then consider creating a custom CSS stylesheet in the ~/touch folder and placing a CSS rule that will replace the standard positioning and sizing of the logo.

Custom file StyleSheet.css is placed in the touch folder of a Mobile Factory app in this screen shot.

Custom stylesheet placed in the 'touch' folder of Mobile Factory project.

This is the rule that changes the position of the background and its size. We recommend experimenting with actual values to accomplish the best fit for you needs.

@media (min-width: 20em) {
    .ui-header.ui-header-fixed:not(.app-tabs) {
        background-position:1.75em 0;
        background-size:100px;
    }
}

The logo in the next screen shot takes the entire height of the toolbar.
