Reporting Demo Applications
The DevExpress .NET Products Installer installs demos for each product. DevExpress Reporting demos are in the Demo Center application.
#Launch the Demo Center
There are three ways to run the DevExpress Demo Center:
- Click the “Demo Center 24.2“ shortcut in the Windows Start Menu.
- In Visual Studio, select “DEVEXPRESS | Run Demo Center 24.2“ in the Visual Studio DevExpress menu.
- Open the DevExpress product installation folder and run the Demo Center manually. The default path is “C:\Users\Public\Documents\DevExpress Demos 24.2\Components\Components\Bin\DevExpress.DemoCenter.v24.2.exe“.
#Find the Source Code
Each demo ships with source code (in C# and VB.NET). Use one of the following approaches to review the demo code:
- In the Demo Center, right-click a demo and select “Open CS Solution”/“Open VB 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.
- Open the demo solution manually. The default demo source directory is C:\Users\Public\Documents\DevExpress Demos 24.2\Components…. To access this folder, invoke the Windows Start Menu and click “All Programs“ | “DevExpress 24.2“ | “Demo Source Code“.
