Resource 1 – CommonHelpers
That is the CommonHelpers NuGet package I was referring to. It not only is a good helper in a .NET project, but you can also look at it’s GitHub Actions to see how to automatically built, test and publish to NuGet.
- Take a look at the readme for just a small taste of what it provides help for in a project https://github.com/LanceMcCarthy/CommonHelpers/blob/main/README.md
- Take a look at its GitHub Actions workflows to learn how you can automatically build, test and publish to NuGet.org https://github.com/LanceMcCarthy/CommonHelpers/tree/main/.github/workflows
- I also have the Azure DevOps pipelines publicly visible here https://dev.azure.com/lance/DevOps%20Examples/_build
Resource 2 – DevOpsExamples
That repo shows you how to build WPF, ASP.NET Core, WinForms, Console, Xamarin.Forms, .NET MAUI, Angular, React and Vue projects in GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI and AppCenter (see the build status badges here).
The workflows can be found here https://github.com/LanceMcCarthy/DevOpsExamples/tree/main/.github/workflows
Resource 3 – MediaFileManager a real-world CI-CD example for WPF
This repo is for MediaFileManager, one of my real-world WPF apps that is published to the Microsoft Store. It shows you how to use GitHub Actions to automatically build MSIX packages and publish to the Microsoft Store.
Not only does it build and upload to the Store, but I also show how to build an msixbundle with an appinstaller file that gets uploaded to Azure Blob Storage so you can host your own mini-Microsoft Store for your non-Store users. Check out the mini-store page here Media File Manager (windows.net)
Resource 4 (bonus) – AI Powered Toilet Flusher for my Cat
I built a full system that uses AI, SignalR, Windows IoT, and Xamarin.Forms to automatically flush the human toilet when my cat uses it. You can see the companion blog post here Using Windows IoT, SignalR, Azure Custom Vision and Xamarin Forms to Flush a Toilet – DVLUP
