The Progress Bar - DevExpress XPF Blog

Ughh... these are getting harder and harder to watch.

Really? Creating a new Session with using (Session session = new Session())

{

}

Not a UnitOfWork?

Also, in the last video, setting the DefaultSession to something, and then nulling it out at the end???

This guy needs to read your best practices document. It REALLY needs to fall in line with that.

Great brushup on membership implementation.

Just one question: Is there any particular reason why you are using the Session and not the UnitOfWork object? In most of your demos, tutorials and documentation you state that one should use the UnitOfWork now and now the Session object?

>> As the application progresses further, we'll provide the source code as well which should clear this up.

Is there any time frame on when this will happen? is it a few month from now or less? we're now 2 month from the first episode.

Please don't be put off by some of these overtly over-critical and drama queen style comments. These videos are a great idea, I am personally getting a lot out of this series even with the few errors and inconsistencies. I'am sure with a little fine tuning you will work these out just fine. Keep it up.

I agree with James, I'm getting a lot out of the videos!  

I get much more out of these videos than the demos that ship with DXperience.  Not that the included demos are terrible - its just that the RWA videos probably fit better with my learning style and my available time to learn new development products.  But then again, I like books with pictures! ;)

Seriously though, once I have the basics of how to use a toolset, language, etc works I'm usually off to the races.

I only wish they came at a faster rate!!!

As far as best practices go, you guys (DevExpress) should know how to use your own products better than most so please make it a point to use the very, very best practices that are applicable for the implementation of your product.  It is my opinion, and experience, that once you go down the road of presenting RWA video/presentations to your users - (folks like me) are going to prefer and rely on the RWA videos as a basis on how to use your product, thus, they become "the best practices," if you will.

I base my experience on my companies recent implementation of to training videos and presentations - our products can be rather complex to use, but the training videos help our customers out greatly.  The videos also seem to reduce support calls and help out with sales and internal training.

Just my humble opinion.

Keep up the good work and I'll keep re-upping my subscription!

I am following this video series as well.   This is a good way to familiarize coders to Devexpress components.

I got lost on the CustomerEngine can you tell me what dll or object reference EngineBase related to which customerEngine was inherited ?
