Creating a manifest file

The Console and Service encapsulations of the IoT Gateway support standalone service modules. A standalone service module can be packaged and installed separately from the IoT Gateway. To be able to do this, you need to create a manifest file for your service. The manifest file describes which files are included in your services, and whether they are application files (assembly files) or content files. Note that you don't have to use libraries included in the IoT Gateway. The manifest file also describes the folder structure used. Create a manifest file with the extension .manifest and include it in your project as a content file. For example:

<Module xmlns="http://waher.se/Schema/ModuleManifest.xsd"> <Assembly fileName="YourCompany.Service.Module.dll"/> ...
