Write a Windows Device Portal Packaged Plug-in

摘要

Amid the fanfare of the Windows 10 release, one feature made a quiet debut: Windows Device Portal (WDP). WDP is a Web-based diagnostic system built into Windows 10. After a progressive roll-out, WDP is now available on HoloLens, IoT, Mobile, Desktop and Xbox. It's expected to be included in new editions of Windows as they're released. With the exception of Windows Desktop, WDP is immediately available out of the box. On Desktop, WDP is available with the download and installation of the optional Windows Update Developer Mode package. In this article, I'll show you how to use the WDP API to implement a WDP packaged plug-in to extend your Windows Store app with custom REST APIs. While the focus of this article is on the Windows Desktop, the concepts and techniques also apply to other Windows editions.
