I'll quote: ...born April 27, 1927. I'm a veteran of 3 wars and... Posted Jul 31 2008, 03:34 PM by Julian M Bucknall with | with 9 comment(s) Filed under: support

• Getting your fix: the DevExpress way

  We've recognized for a while that there's a minor flaw in how we disseminate fixes to our products. Sure, the primary method of doing so is to issue a new release, either minor or major, but sometimes it's necessary to post an intermediate...

• Code Central is here!

  Over the past two or three months we've been implementing a new feature of our Support Center web site that we're calling Code Central.

• Bug reporting and tracking

It's a bit like the old joke that starts off with "I have some good news and bad news..." and then gives us the bad news, and then the good, the joke being that the good news is worse than the...

• Psst! Wanna see some tutorials for our ASP.NET controls?

  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... Posted Aug 22 2007, 11:23 AM by Julian M Bucknall with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: support, ASP.NET, ASPxGridView

• Getting ASP.NET programming lessons on the quiet

  A conversation I had recently turned out to be funny; not funny ha-ha per se, more funny amazement. I was chatting to Plato, a member of our support team. He's taken on a couple more supervisory responsibilities since Max has been tanning himself... Posted Aug 21 2007, 08:40 PM by Julian M Bucknall with | with 17 comment(s) Filed under: support, ASP.NET
