How to write test case using Appium in C#?

Question

I want to use Appium to make automated testing for my Android app. I downloaded the Appium for Windows and could run my app on device from within appium.exe. Now I want to write test cases in C# which make use of selendroid integrated in Appium. I googled a lot but couldn't find any example demonstrating the same. I found one project on github but it's giving a lot of compiler errors. Could anybody guide me about how to write test cases using Appium in C#? If you have any resources, please provide me the same. Thanks.

You can go with installing Visual Studio 2012 or visual express for web. Use NUnit framework to write the test cases and execute them as a class library project in that.

it will be appreciated if you could provide resources/links to achieve what you have just mentioned. – Roy Lee Sep 04 '14 at 08:42
There are no such links to help on this , i downloaded visual studio , created an class library project then used the NUnit structure to set up the capabilities and started writing the test cases. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Appium.WebDriver/ <-- this link will explain how to add the Appium Webdriver references to your class library project. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Newtonsoft.Json/ and https://www.nuget.org/packages/Selenium.WebDriver/ packages are needed to initialize the webdriver to connect to the Appium server. – Vignesh Sep 04 '14 at 09:52
I guess this link will be very much useful in adding the dll files and also configure the NUnit framework to write your test cases and build your project accordingly. http://blog.wedoqa.com/2012/02/how-to-setup-selenium-webdriver-with-visual-studio-and-nunit/ – Vignesh Sep 04 '14 at 10:08

1) Create a class library project and create a new class e.g "Class1". Add the packages as provided in the links above. Try the below code

  using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Diagnostics;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Reflection;
    using OpenQA.Selenium;
    using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;
    using NUnit.Framework;
    using OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions;
    using System.Threading;
    using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium;
    using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.MultiTouch;
    using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.Interfaces;
    using System.Drawing;

    namespace ClassLibrary2
    {
        [TestFixture]
        public class Class1
        {
            public AppiumDriver driver;
            public DesiredCapabilities capabilities; 

            public Class1()
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Connecting to Appium server");
                capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
                capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.BrowserName, "Android");
                capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Platform, "Windows");
                capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Version ,"4.1.2");
                capabilities.SetCapability("Device", "Android");

                //Application path and configurations

               driver = new AppiumDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
            }


        [Test]
        public void login()
        {

            driver.FindElement(By.Name("Country")).Click();
            //Your further code as per the application.



        }

Then Build a solution for your project and run it in NUnit.
