Visual Studio 2019 Support

@Customer37575:

1. We may release v18.1.11 with Visual Studio 2019 support in several weeks. At least we already did required adjustments for XAF there.

2. Thank you for your suggestion. We are aware that IDE gains popularity among certain developers, but have not planned its support in XAF for any specific release. I will follow up with you in the Support Center on the external editor use.

@Birger Our support engineers assume something may be interfering with the download, such as a proxy server, or anti-virus software. We receive such reports from time to time. If you are still experiencing the issue, please contact our support team and they will be able to assist you further.

Since we utilize C# 6.0 features, our developers use Visual Studio versions 2015 - 2019.

@Mark:

We consider version 17.2 as too old to adapt it to VS 2019. If you need to develop with previous DevExpress builds, please choose an appropriate Visual Studio version. I understand that this is not the answer you'd like to hear, but we cannot approve v17.2 for the new Visual Studio, nor do we provide any workarounds for this scenario.

You may wish to take a look at our upcoming version, 19.1, which is also packed with a wide range of new features (community.devexpress.com/.../default.aspx).

@L.J.C. van Heuven:

It appears that you encountered the issue that we've been told about a couple of times. After deep debugging, we seem to have determined the culprit in our Menu Integration extension. We'll do our best to develop a complete resolution as soon as possible. Your patience is highly appreciated.

Please refer to the www.devexpress.com/scid=T733366 bug report to learn about our progress in this area.

UWP Controls v18.2.7 fully support Visual Studio 2019. I've updated the blog post - thanks for pointing out they weren't on the list.

A number of our WPF customers did experience control registration issues with Preview versions of Visual Studio 2019. These issues were resolved in the latest Visual Studio builds. If you're using an up-to-date build, you can try the solutions listed in the following Knowledge Base Article:

www.devexpress.com/.../how-to-resolve-issues-with-toolbox-items

You can also create a new ticket in our Support Center to have a member of our Technical Support look into why registration might fail on your machine.

If you installed a new Visual Studio version, you'll need to run the DevExpress installation again and select "Repair". This will register our controls and wizards in the new IDE.

Here's a related Support Center ticket: www.devexpress.com/.../install-devexpress-after-installing-a-new-visual-studio-version

Hope this helps.

Thanks for reaching out to us. Our Support Team was able to reproduce this issue. We created a bug report and you can track its progress at devexpress.com/issue=T743650

@Dov:

As the blog post mentions, you need to use DevExpress v18.2.7 or higher with Visual Studio 2019.

We also publish platform-specific Prerequisites topics in our documentation where you can find additional information about support .NET Framework or Visual Studio versions. Here's an article for WinForms:

The version you mention can be used with Visual Studio versions 2010 through 2015.
