To run the DevExpress Demo Center, choose one of the following three options:

  • Click the “Demo Center 26.1 shortcut in the Windows Start Menu.
  • In the Visual Studio top menu, go to “Extensions > DevExpress” and click Run Demo Center 26.1.3“.
  • Open the DevExpress product installation folder and run the Demo Center manually. The default path is “C:\Users\Public\Documents\DevExpress Demos 26.1\Components\Components\Bin\DevExpress.DemoCenter.v26.1.exe“.

Find the Demo Source Code

Each demo ships with source code (in C# and VB.NET). Use one of the following approaches to review this demo code:

  • In the Demo Center, right-click the demo and select the corresponding menu item:

    Demo Center - Open Solution

  • Desktop platforms’ demo modules run in separate windows. Buttons at the top of these windows allow you to open a certain demo module as a Visual Studio solution.
