I have recently completed my first course for the Pluralsight on-demand library: C# 4.0 New Features. If you’re not familiar with the Pluralsight library, I recommend you check it out - it’s a brilliant resource!

On September 1st, I’ll also deliver a webcast for Pluralsight, called Being dynamic with C# 4.0 — currently on the list here. See you there! …


Here’s a new version of my Electric Editing plugin. Did you know the first version came out in April 2005? Unbelievable how time flies! This version is built against DXCore 11.1.7. Here’s the download: CR_ElectricEditing-1.2.6.1.zip

Of course, as ever, if you don’t know what Electric Editing is, please check out this page, the various linked blog posts and the comments for the background info! Have fun!


I’m proud to have two separate announcements to make today!

There’s great news for all DevExpress DXperience ASP.NET users in the United States! I’m teaming up with DevExpress for a new training class in Las Vegas, in October 2011. The content of the class will be the same as the Expert DXperience ASP.NET class previously announced here. [LINK REMOVED]

The markets in Europe and the US are obviously different, and in recent mon …


I have just made information available on my next DevExpress class: [LINK REMOVED] You can find all the details by following the link. The class is one day longer than my earlier ASP.NET classes, but there are some important differences - including these:

  • It’s one day longer, for a total of three days

  • I call it an “Expert” class, which means it’s meant to go to more depth. Any questions are welcome and will be discussed as much as time allows, plus more time can be spent on in-depth discu …


Last week I did a webinar for DevExpress on XPO, their object/relational mapping product. It went well, I had fun, and around 60 or so people stayed till the end, so it can’t have been half bad! ;-) If you would like to see the webinar, it’s now up on the DevExpress site — click this link to watch it. I had a few requests for the samples I was using and writing during the webinar, so I’m making them available for download. Have fun!

Mehul just posted about it: there’s a free DevExpress XPO webinar coming up on March 31st, 2011. Presented by, well, me :-) Many of you may remember that I and XPO go way back, and during my time at DevExpress I had a chance to work with the team that made the product and, so I hope, push it a little in the right direction. These days, XPO is still a product I like to use and to recommend to my consulting clients [LINK REMOVED] — together with XAF or on its own, it’s usually my .NET data layer …


Version 1.2.5.1 of Electric Editing is now available here: CR_ElectricEditing-1.2.5.1.zip

This build is compiled against DXCore 10.2.5. Unfortunately I noticed, a bit late, that 10.2 changed a few things that broke assembly references with the older build. My apologies for any inconveniences! Oh, and of course if you don?t have a clue what Electric Editing is, check out this overview with the various posts linked from there! …


I’m planning to do at least two DevExpress product classes in Europe in 2011 (in addition to the XPO class announced previously [LINK REMOVED]). Unfortunately it’s hard to do much more than that, but there are lots of topics to choose from: ASP.NET (WebForms), the new MVC products, WinForms, Silverlight, WPF, XAF, … and of course I’ll also have to decide whether to go more for introduction or overview classes or rather expert knowledge. Any feedback you can give me about this will be v…](mailto
