After CodeStencil has been installed, you will get a Quick Startup window.

Click FINISH

Click OK to accept the pre-filled project properties on the intermediate form that appears:

Note: Your code will be generated into the folder "c:\temp\codestencil\Project10"

You will see your project being filled by the stencil. Once this is complete click the "Generate" button to start generating your code:

If you get a prompt asking to truncate your files, you can click either "Yes" or "No". If you don't get any prompt then code generation starts automatically.

Once your code has finished generating, you should get this prompt:

Click "No" to close it.

Now, there are 2 ways you can load and run your generated application:

(1) Load Solution File: You can load your solution file from the CodeStencil IDE. Note that this will open a fresh copy of Visual Studio. To do this look for the solution file in the Code Tree, right-click and select "Load File using Registered Application":

(2) The .NET Core CLI: Another way is to use the .NET Core Command Line Interface. To do this:

1.Open a command prompt

2.Navigate to your output folder. Remember, from Step 3 above, it is "c:\temp\codestencil\Project10"

3.Make sure the project file is in this folder. In some cases, depending on how your output was defined, it may be in a "src" sub-folder

4.Type the command: "dotnet run". This will load the application and indicate the listening port

5.Open a browser and use the "localhost:xxxx" where "xxxx" is the port number. This should load the application.

If you select "Album" from the menu you will see the table loaded with CRUD capabilities.
