Template Gallery (.NET Framework)
- 2 minutes to read
The DevExpress Template Gallery includes popular application layouts for DevExpress Controls that target .NET Framework 4.6.2+. The Template Gallery option appears in Visual Studio after you install the DevExpress controls suite.
Note
We added a .NET CLI–based Project Wizard that supports multiple IDEs on Windows. Use it to create WPF projects that target .NET, with additional templates and project presets. For details, see Cross-IDE Template Kit.
