Tizen .NET and Web Samples Not Running Properly in Development Environment

Problem Understanding

The issue occurs because Visual Studio defaults to selecting the Class Library component of the sample projects rather than the Tizen-specific project component. This prevents proper execution in the emulator.

Solution Methods

For Tizen .NET Projects:

1. Download the sample project
2. In Visual Studio: File > Open Project > Navigate to sample folder > Open SampleName.sln
3. Note that these projects typically have two components:
   • Common Class Library (shared across platforms)
   • Tizen Platform Project
4. By default, the Class Library is selected. Change this to the Tizen Project before running:
   • In Solution Explorer, right-click the Tizen project
   • Select "Set as StartUp Project"
5. Ensure your development environment is properly set up according to the official guidelines

For Tizen Web Projects:

1. Use Tizen Studio IDE instead of Visual Studio
2. In Tizen Studio: File > Import > Tizen > Tizen Project
3. Select either:
   • Root directory (folder) or
   • Archive file (.wgt)
4. Verify your environment has the Samsung Tizen TV Extension installed as per the installation guide

Additional Tips

• Always verify your development environment setup before running samples
• For .NET projects, ensure you're working with the Tizen-specific project component
• For web projects, use Tizen Studio rather than Visual Studio
• Keep your SDK and tools updated to the latest versions
