ABP Studio: Working with ABP Suite
ABP Studio (Studio) has a shortcut for running ABP Suite (Suite) to allow using it without starting it externally and using it on a browser. Thus you can use both Studio and Suite as a united platform.
Running Suite From Studio
Opening from main window
The Open
button in ABP Suite
menu runs the Suite and opens it as a tab in the main page of Studio. It may take a few seconds to open Suite if it is not already running. The main page of Suite will be shown if there is not a module loaded in Studio. Otherwise, it will automatically open Crud Page Generation
screen with the loaded module in Studio.
If There are more than one module which is openable via Suite, Studio will ask you to pick one of them before opening it. If you select a module, Suite will automatically open Crud Page Generation
screen with the selected module. If you choose Continue without selecting a module
, Suite main page will be opened.
Opening from context menu
Alternatively, you can right click to a module in Solution Explorer and click ABP Suite
to open it with Suite. Suite will automatically open Crud Page Generation
screen with the selected module.
Supported Templates
Standard application solutions (App
& App-nolayers
) generated by Studio are fully supported by Suite.
