When you open Visual Studio for the first time and try to create a new project, you’ll notice the new DevExpress project templates in the File-New dialog, and by selecting the Web projects’ group you get 7 project templates, 4 for web forms and 3 for MVC: the project templates names are self-explanatory and they give you a getting-started project wizard too. To learn all about the new features introduced in the 2012 version of the library, you can read the extensive 60 pages of the What’s New in DXperience 12.1 and see the short overview videos. The really nice thing is that, unlike other products I’ve used in the past, when you click on either a end-to-end sample app or on a demo page, a instance of the ASP.NET development server (aka Cassini) starts, and you can immediately start using the app and see the demos (where you can see both the working demo together with the related code).

Was good to see a nice Metro touch on the UI of the various install screens: it seems like we’ll have Metro inspired UIs everywhere in the coming years.Ībove you see two screenshots: the first is the aforementioned install screen, while the second brings me to what happens when the install dialog closes: you get a very well thought getting started screen, which links to sample apps and to demo pages.

It installed all the components and installed in all the versions of Visual Studio (including VS2012 RC). Let’s start from the installation: it was pretty easy and not many steps to go through. A few months ago I wrote a post on a component library built entirely in jQuery, but if you don’t like to write lots of javascript and prefer to write as much as possible in server-side code, today I’m writing about something I’ve been looking at lately: the new DevExpress DXv2 v2012 library, specifically the MVC extensions.
