Kodu Game Lab

Community Notes

Classic Community

The classic community is built from the KoduCloudService project using VS 2019.

Notes:

  • The file Web.config should not be checked in. Instead, if changes are needed, update Web.config.zip and check that in. Keep in sync via email about this.

To Debug Locally

Build and run debug version. This will open a browser page with localhost:port as the address. In Kodu, set this port for the CommunityUrl in CommunityRequest.cs. Then you can debug both sides. The community will still talk to the SQL database so everything should work.
