My company asked me to implement APM into our WPF application but I could not find any document supporting the case of WPF app. All they gave me is the setting information:  
"ElasticApm": {  
"ServerUrls": "https://\_\_ **.apm.us-east-1.aws.cloud.es.io:**",  
"ServiceName": "",  
"SecretToken": "",  
"Environment": ""  
}  
How can I set this up for WPF app? The app runs this code when running the app

```auto
using Elastic.Apm;
using System;

namespace App_Name
{
    public partial class App : Application
    {      
        protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnStartup(e);
        }
    }
}

```

Hi @Thi_hong_van_Nguyen,

Welcome to the community! Which version of WPF are you using?

There isn't an explicit guide for WPF as it's not covered in [the supported technologies list](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/supported-technologies.html) for the .NET APM agent (although you can upvote it in [the survey](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18SgsVo9asGNFMjRqwdrk3wTHNwPhtHv4jE35hZRCL6A/) as per the documentation).

Don't panic! For other .NET technologies you can still use the agent to instrument your application and [use the public API to create spans and transactions manually](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/setup-general.html). You'll need to add the [Elastic.Apm Nuget dependency](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Elastic.Apm) to your WPF application and follow the [Public API documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/public-api.html).

Hope that helps!

Carly
