XPO_EasyFields, makes your life easy with XPO

In the next couple of days I will be blogging a series of posts on how to get the most of XPO.

One of the biggest helpers is from the awesome Oliver Sturm, who created a legendary CodeRush Plugin called XPOFieldSync (http://community.devexpress.com/blogs/xpo/archive/2009/10/02/ann-dxcore-xpo-plugin-1-2-0-4.aspx), once I found out about Simplified Criteria Syntax (http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/ORM/SimplifiedCriteriaSyntax.xml and http://www.devexpress.com/Help/?document=XPO/CustomDocument2537.htm) I haven't turned back. Infact I personally thing is the name is a little "off" as this is purely a method to obtain Strongly Typed references to your Object's fields, this allows for strongly typed DataBinding amongst other things.

Unfortunately there has been a few bugs creeping into the plugin as new versions of the DXCore/CodeRush are released, Oliver is run off his feet so I have created a new plugin and named it to reflect it's general purpose XPO_EasyFields, which is hosted on the awesome DXCore Community Plugin Google Code which was created by the legendary DX Squad member Rory Becker. (http://code.google.com/p/dxcorecommunityplugins/). The binaries are available for download as well as the source which is available under MIT License.

If you look at http://code.google.com/p/dxcorecommunityplugins/wiki/XPO_EasyFields I explain some of the "limitations" plus some of the "additions" to this plugin, namely that the generated code replaces the current code "inplace", which makes it alot more FX StyleCop / CR_ClassCleaner friendly.

So happy coding and "watch this space" for more information on XPO information and scenarios.

Thanks for the comment Glenn, the Update on Save was a feature requested by the community.

As always a community effort brings along great innovations, so now with the Plugin in the open-source/community space we can make it do whatever we want (Except for world domination ;)

Thanks for popping by
