How to deploy the app on to my Windows 8 Tablet for testing

Question

Hi all

I have a windows 8 Tablet, I wish to deploy my app on it for testing, in my tab I have installed Remote debugging tool for Visual studio, I have followed the article given here at  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt727f1t.aspx  But I could not run the app on the device. Can anyone please help me? 

Thanks

Answer 1

The URL you link is for desktop apps. For Windows Store apps see Run apps on a remote machine

Thanks for replying, I had tried to configure it based on the article which you had given me  and it still doesn't work for me. What am I missing ? I am getting the following errors

• found o connections on my subnet.
• Showing 0 of 0 connection(s)

Could you please help me fixing this?

Thanks,

Answer 3

are them on the same network? no firewalls on the routers? wireless isolation? such thing can prevent that the tablet can be found

Yes they both are on the same network, I had connected my windows tablet by using usb to ethernet to the network, and from my desktop computer I could access the windows 8 tablet by using its ipv4 address on the run command. But the visual studio is not detecting the  remote machine, should I have to give the full name of the computer on which the the remote debugger is running along with the port number (4016) in the visual studio ? . Ok I will check with the firewall configuration . 

What if my windows 8 tablet is connected to the WiFi? and still they both are on the same network ?
