Question

I downloaded the DevExpress Universal 12.2 Exe file, and that installs 2 folders to my computer. they are devexpress dxperience 12.2 and dxteeme 12.2 folders. When I open the visual studio express 2012, I cannot see the devexpress controls? I tried to repair my devexpress installation by clicking the SETUP.

What can I do to put devexpress tool box in visual studio.net 2012 ?

thank you

Answer 1

Open the Toolbox windows on Visual Studio, right click, select Chose Items. Then, browse your devexpress dlls, you can find these dlls on devexpress folders, select what dev controls you will need, like XtraGrid.dll, XtraEditors.dll, etc..

You need to add them as a reference in your project. Just search for the .dll that was downloaded and add them to your project.
