Hi there! Hello everyone, who likes C# or Devexpress or just guests of my blog!
Although it's my first review, I'll try to make this article interesting.
Let's go and try to do something from new stuff!

Let's go and try to do something from new stuff!
Basically I'm using Devexpress XAF for rapid building business-level applications. It's fast, looks great and it's the main reason why I've started review from XAF.
Look at new stuff from 13.2:
Let's start with SplashScreen, cause it's face of any program. So.. whats new?
"- XAF now supports splash forms powered by the DevExpress WinForms SplashScreenManager Control."

Look at new stuff from 13.2:
- Custom Fields
- Improved validation
- ReportsV2
- Merging of Concurrent Record Updates
- ListViews multiediting
- SplashScreenManager Integration
- Entity Framework support (data model)
- Business Class Name Conflict Resolution
- Secure BO Members with access criteria
What was interesting in previous version (13.1)
"- XAF now supports splash forms powered by the DevExpress WinForms SplashScreenManager Control."
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Utils;
// ...
winApplication.SplashScreen = new DXSplashScreen(typeof(SplashScreen1));
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Utils;
// ...
winApplication.SplashScreen = new DXSplashScreen();
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Utils;
// ...
winApplication.SplashScreen = new DXSplashScreen("SplashImage.png");
The second novation is "Concurrent Record Updates". That problem has solved. Let's try how it works on the Demo Centre:
Let's pretend we have two users that modify data cards:
On the second stage we save in "silent mode", because it's the first change an Object. On the fourth stage XAF will show a dialog: (Merge or Refresh). After Merge the first card will change all fields which were changed.
