This small but incredibly useful tool detects the DevExpress Controls you are using and captures their current configuration as a single global application layout called a workspace. With the release of v14.2, a better way exists to manage all end-user runtime layout modifications - that better way is called the DevExpress Workspace Manager. Though each individual control we ship provides the ability to save/restore layouts to a file, XML, Registry or stream, managing this can be cumbersome when using more than a couple of controls on a form. Included in this interaction is the ability to save/restore layout (configuration) modifications made by the end-user at runtime. As you know, in in order to deliver an intuitive user experience, all of these controls need to interact with one another. To help describe the value of our Workspace Manager, let's first consider an app that uses multiple DevExpress controls - everything from our WinForms Data Grid and Ribbon Control, to our Navigation Bar and Document Manager.
What's a Workspace Manager and Why Should You Care Last week I wrote about our Image Collection and Gallery for WinForms.today, I'd like to share with you some specifics as it relates to our new Workspace Manager. V14.2 ships with a number of usability/productivity features we hope you can leverage going forward.
