DevExpress Code Examples
- 2 minutes to read
You can find all examples that demonstrate the use of DevExpress controls and components for various platforms in the Devexpress-Examples organization on GitHub.
GitHub
Each example is a separate repository that contains solutions and projects with source code and data files that you can compile into an executable, library, or website. The repository can contain, for instance, a desktop application, web application, or multi-platform solutions.
Branches
The branch version has the xx.x.x+ pattern. That means that the code in this branch works in the specified version and above until the next branch with a higher version. For example, a repo has two branches – 19.1.4+ and 20.2.3+. Hence, the 19.1.4+ branch works from the 19.1.4 to 20.2.2 version, and the 20.2.3+ branch works from the 20.2.3 version to the latest release (21.1.12).
Readme
A repository’s Readme.md file contains the example’s description, lists files to look at, and includes links to corresponding documentation and related examples.
Readme files of web examples can contain the [Run Online] link. Use this button to run the example on our web server and see how the application works. For instance, the ASP.NET MVC Dashboard - Custom Properties example is available online at codecentral.devexpress.com.
