Where can i find the Ui Path studio Activities Documentation guidelines? - uipath

Is there any full documentation of UI path All activities List slike it is available for Qliksense in terms of PDF?

UiPath Studio includes by default the following activities packages as dependecies for all newly created projects:
UiPath.Excel.Activities
UiPath.Mail.Activities
UiPath.System.Activities
UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities
For any other activity you need to install corresponding packages in your UiPath project using Nuget Package Manager in UiPath Studio. You can find details documentation of all the activity packages in Uipath official documentation portal . For any particular activity like PDF activities you can check at corresponding section UiPath.PDF.Activities.

Overall it's not clear what you especially want to know!
But you should definitly check out the UiPath Academy first. But if you want a fast introduction to PDFs only you can check the Docs about PDF.
Also there is a good tutorial about PDFs here.

UiPath custom ocr engine

Recently UiPath announced that now you can create your own OCR engines - link
I am trying to create one, but can't find any information on how to do it, the only documentation I found about that is this - OCR Contracts
But there is no information on how to build and release one, so it would be available for people.
So is there any examples or information about it?

ASP .NET 5 WEB API creating help page

I just got started working on ASP.NET 5. I want to have a help page for my methods, I have seen few examples for creating help pages but most of them are MVC specific. I have gone through Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.HelpPage package, it creates an Area for help page but I am not using MVC pattern.
Any suggestions how can I create help page other than this area approach?
I would suggest looking at Swagger and SwaggerUI. Swagger is an open standard, using JSON to document an API, used by the likes of PayPal and Microsoft (check out Logic apps in the azure portal).
There are some open source implementations for .Net (both of which I have used), which will self document your API, just by adding the NuGet packages to your project and a little bit of configuration:
https://github.com/domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle
https://github.com/domaindrivendev/Ahoy
Swashbuckle is the original project and Ahoy is the new version targeting ASPNET5. When downloading the package from NuGet you will still get Swashbuckle, just make sure you tick "include pre-release", and if you need any documentation look at the original GitHub project.
SwaggerUI (which is also included in Swashbuckle) adds an interface which you can use to navigate and test your API, by default this is available from "/swagger/ui" when your project is running.
Here is a sample repo in GitHub I put together showing how it can be used: https://github.com/mattridgway/ASPNET5-SwaggerUI

Telerik Data Access generate classes automatically

Until the recent release I was happily using Telerik Data Access in a database first way:
Created the database schema in external DB designer
Generated a fluent model in Visual Studio
Whenever I did a database change I either re-ran the generation or updated models via visual designer depending on the magnitude of the change
After the last release the templates I used for the generation are gone (as is the visual designer) and any attempt at Googling the solution takes me to a Telerik documentation page saying the info is deprecated.
I'm working with large existing databases (100+ tables) and there's no way I'm coding the models by hand.
What are the current options for auto generating the models?
I got a reply on Telerik forums. Simply said there's nothing I can do now and have to wait til/if they develop a solution. For all that are interested, please vote on the feature request.
Here's the reply:
Thank you for your feedback.
We have already created a new feature request (http://feedback.telerik.com/Project/114/Feedback/Details/163155-generation-of-fluent-models-with-data-access-q2-2015-and-higher) to create a code generating tool to create your fluent models based on your database schema. You are welcome to cast your support vote for the item.
I cannot give you any time frame when we will be able to ship such tool, but I will make sure to notify you as soon as we have a public release.
Regards,
Viktor Zhivkov

The feature is still not available. But maybe this is an alternative to being stuck with VisualStudio 2013.
Owners of VisualStudio Enterprise have another option. They can modify the code generation templates and generate the fluent metadata and context code from an UML class diagram.
I invested in checking the MSDN documentation and created a VS extension which I open-sourced.
Please check https://github.com/bdongus/UMLExtensions for details. Feel free contribute.

Is there documentation for Team Build 2010 Activites?

As most of you know TFS Team Build 2010 is Windows Workflow based. It comes with a handful of custom Activities out of the box. Is there any documentation available for these activities?
For example Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Workflow.Activities.GetBuildAgent is one of the activities that has basically only one property called Result which I'm assuming takes a variable name that receives the agent name. But how does it determine which agent to select? which variables/arguments does it use to receive input/output? I'm sure if I ask around I can figure out how this specific Activity works, but what about the other 50 activities? I have been unsuccessful in finding documentation on these Microsoft provided activities to date.
There is currently no documentation on these activities. I have seen some previews on a book on Team Build that will arrive soon (keep an eye on this blog) and the VS ALM rangers who will bring their guidance on codeplex during the beginning of CY11.
See Team Foundation Build Activities on MSDN for documentation on all the included build activities.
The GetBuildAgent activity can only be used within an AgentScope activity. It returns the IBuildAgent object of the build agent that it is running on.
William's book on Inside the Microsoft Build Engine: Using MSBuild and Team Foundation Build will also cover these build activities in more detail.
Beyond the built-in activities, I immediately found a need to implement custom activities. Some Custom Activity examples are:
Checking in/out a file in the build process
Updating Version properties (to support ClickOnce deployment)
Updating deployment folder html file to support Version updates
I found an article by Jakob Ehn very helpful in navigating through this process.
Ewald Hofman has a very thorough guide to help you get more out of customizing Team Build. It acts as a great reference.

Configure VS 2010 Help for a specific subject

Using VS2008, you could set Document Explorer to limit your search to specific subjects using the Technology dropdown, which made for finding info on a specific subject very easy, as it was limited to a subset of available subject. How is the accomplished in the new VS2010 help?
The VS2010 help at the moment, is very hazy. When I search for Task, or task, or c# task. re the new Task library in .net, it returns a whole bundle of irrelevancy...
Any ideas.
Apparently the Document Explorer is not compatible with VS 2010. There is an extension called H3Viewer developed by a third party which apparently provides similar functionality.
