WinForms command line tool

Convert a WinForms-based project’s interface mappings to mappings based on TA classes, and export to a text file.

• The WinForms command-line tool is not available in the TestArchitect packages for the Linux and macOS operating systems.
• This tool does not support the conversion of WinForms dynamic controls.

Running the WinForms command line tool
This topic provides, by way of example, an introduction to the use of the WinForms command line tool. Here we’ll use the ConvertWinFormsClassMapping command to update the TA legacy mappings of a WinForms-based project.
