Here’s the newest version of my Visual Studio plugin, built against DXCore version 10.1.7 and tested with VS 2010. The previous build had a problem getting the colors right in VS 2010 — that is fixed now. Check out the original description here! The instructions for use haven’t really changed much. Here they are again:

  • If you don’t have DXCore yet, download it here and install it: http://www.devexpress.com/dxcore (oh yeah - it’s free!)
  • Download the plugin here: [OS_CompilationRes …

I just decided to give the go-ahead for my DevExpress DXperience ASP.NET training class [LINK REMOVED], which takes place November 29-30 2010 in Egmond an Zee in the Netherlands. The group is only just large enough this time though, so here’s a shout-out for people interested in the topic! I still have seats available — sign up [LINK REMOVED] and tell your friends [LINK REMOVED].


The first ever public training class for DevExpress XPO is now available! Click here to see all the details! [LINK REMOVED]

January 27-28 2011 are the dates, the location will be London, UK (details will be announced as soons as possible), and sign-up is open right now [LINK REMOVED] with an early-bird discount available until November 30 2010.

In contrast to most of the other classes I’ve done on DX products so far, this is more than an introductory event. Of course, as you know if you’ve at …


I have just opened registrations for a new training class in January 2011: Business Apps with DXperience Silverlight. You can find all the details here [LINK REMOVED], with the exception of the location unfortunately — I’m working on that! I have ideas, but if you have certain preferences for the location, be sure to let me know! Signing up is possible [LINK REMOVED] right now, and if you do so before November 30 2010, you can take advantage of an early bird discount.

Here’s the summary text …

I just saw this post in the DevExpress XPO forum: ASP.Net XpoDataSource with standard ASP.Net Repeater. Specifically, the question is how a simple setup with XPO and the standard ASP.NET Repeater can support paging. Now, the following setup may not be optimal in all cases, because it depends on an XPCollection and may therefore have more overhead than you’d optimally want. But I still wanted to start by documenting the built-in support, so here goes. (_You can skip the following descriptions an …

Next week I’ll be in Mainz, Germany for Basta! Conference, the largest .NET event over there. Just like the past few years, I have been the Advisory Board member responsible for the C# Days. These are Tuesday and Wednesday, and I’m sure they’ll be great again. DevExpress are exhibiting at Basta!, and on each of the three main conference days (that’s Tuesday to Thursday), I will be at their booth at 1:30pm (13:30 for th …


Good news: the locations for both the DXperience Silverlight [LINK REMOVED] and the DXperience ASP.NET [LINK REMOVED] training classes that I have announced for later this year are now fixed. (If you don’t know what DXperience is, but you are a .NET programmer, I suggest you go check out DevExpress’ brilliant component suites here!) I got to say, it was easy to do them both at once, because they’re in the same place:

More good news: for the three DevExpress product training classes [LINK REMOVED] that I announced earlier this month, I have extended the early-bird signup period to August 31 2010. I got several emails from people who thought the period was a bit too short for their liking, seeing how it’s vacation time and their bosses aren’t there and so on… okay, I can see that. And since the dates are only in October, it seemed like a good move to give people more time. In turn — all of you sign up, oka …
