Hi Folks,

Could anyone please recommend some decent tutorials covering the basics of using DevExpress Winforms on C# .NET ?

I have googled a bit, but don't seem to find anything much.

It's really much appreciated.

Have you checked out the multitude of video tutorials on DevExpress' on site??

Ah, I see - the Winforms section is pretty slim, compared to their ASP.NET collection..... worth a look nonetheless, if you haven't checked it out already!

Thanks, Marc.Unfortunately since I'm in South Africa, I don't really have the bandwidth to download video tutorials, so what I should have asked for is a recommendations for non-video resources.

Each of the videos has a transcript with screenshots if you don't have the bandwidth to actually watch the video. They are also useful to have a reference for the code they use in the video.

Also look at provided samples. There are Demos and QuickStart folders in Devexpress related entry in Start menu. These demos are provided with sources, so you can investigate how to perform many of basic tasks.

A: 

Go to the devexpress site, click the products menu item and the control(s) you are interested in. On each product page (with a few exceptions) there is a "online tutorials" link that takes you to the beginner videos for their controls.

I found them invaluable when I started using the devexpress suite. The only caveat is that almost all of the tutorials bind directly to a database, so if you're working offline or want to work more with your XPO layer, you might have a bit more trouble.
