To follow on from (and to complement) my post about us providing
support
for basic ASP.NET programming, it seems that there's a movement
afoot in the hallowed halls of Developer Express Towers to provide
simple online tutorials.
Yep, our ASP.NET team have been writing some quick example tutorials
on using our controls (mostly geared to our ASPxGridView and
associated editors) and posting them online. And then only telling me
about it this morning after reading my previous post. My response was,
well, duh, guys, don't hide this and hope people find it, let's get on
the roof and shout about it!
Basically, by analyzing various support questions that have come in
over the past month or so, they've identified various scenarios that
customers are having problems with and have created little sample
programs that describe the problem, show the solution and the code
needed to create the solution. You can reach the tutorials
here.
I warn you: the pages are almost Japanese in their simplicity. Our
marketing guys haven't seen this yet and so haven't had a chance to
throw in a bunch of images and branding and fancy schmancy stuff and
so on. My advice is don't tell them: these tutorials are all about
each individual problem and its solution, we don't need no steenkin'
frou-frou. Enjoy!
