Capture HTML previews for WPF applications

You can capture HTML previews of Microsoft WPF .Net applications using the Rigi Websnap tool. For details about the tool and its installation, see the Rigi Websnap tool article.

Before capturing previews for WPF applications, you need to perform the following preparation steps:

  1. Create a project on the Rigi server.

  2. Prepare the WPF application.

  3. Create a Websnap project.

After the preparations are completed, perform the following steps to capture HTML previews:

  1. Start Rigi Websnap.

  2. Open the required project by clicking File > Open and selecting the rigisnap project file on your local machine.

    You can also select the required project in the list of recent projects in the File menu.

    If you are not logged in, the Rigi login page will be displayed instead. You can ignore it, as you will be asked to log in later.
