DevExpress Contrib
Project Description

DevExpress Contrib is a repository for user contributed functionality targeting the Developer Express tools and framework. This project will focus upon features yet unaddressed by Developer Express. DevExpress Contrib is open source and may be used in commercial applications.

Developer Express supplies a growing suite of components and framework tools. However, the development of specific software features may be limited by Developer Express' business priorities. DevExpress Contrib fills this gap with user contributed functionality.

If (or perhaps when) Developer Express supplies functionality that DevExpress Contrib contains, the DevExpress Contrib feature will be marked obsolete and eventually removed from the project.

Current features
Notes
  • Strongly-Named assemblies: Non-password protected, strong-named assemblies are provided for your convenience. These assemblies are located in the bin directory. However, if you are concerned with assembly security you will want to compile the assemblies with your own strong name key file.
  • UpdateSchema Bonus Providers: The DevExpress Contrib Xpo.UpdateSchema bonus providers are commented out in the shipping code. To compile them, you will need to uncommented the #define at the top of each bonus provider. Then add the relevant ADO.NET provider to the assembly.
  • UpdateSchema Unit Tests: The unit tests for the DevExpress Contrib Xpo.UpdateSchema are really integration tests - they directly access the underlying databases. If you want to run these tests you must change the connection strings found in Test.Xpo.UpdateSchema.TestConnectionString.
