Success for DevExpress at Microsoft TechEd 2009|
Microsoft TechEd 2009 was a huge success for DevExpress. We picked up awards for all eleven of the asp.netPRO Magazine Readers' Choice Awards in which we were nominated. That makes a total of 26 ASP.NET awards in 3 years! But the recognition didn’t stop there. We were also very proud to be awarded not one, but two “Best of TechEd” awards for our analytics products, including pivot grids for WinForms and ASP.NET, XtraCharts, XtraPrinting Library and XtraReports.
Julian took some obligatory camera phone shots of our awards so that we could share them with you.

DevExpress Webinar: XtraReports - Resolving the Reporting Dilemma
As you may remember, DevExpress held its inaugural webinar before TechEd, where Joe Kunk talked about XtraReports. With over a thousand attendees, the event was a huge success. But we understand that not everyone was able to make it, therefore we have made the recording of the full event available on the DevExpress Channel.
Due to the event’s popularity, our meeting room filled up quickly, leaving out a number of attendees. We have since worked to come up with a different approach for future webinars. Moving forward, we plan to hold more live events like this one. So as always, your suggestions are greatly appreciated! Please let us know what you thought of the content of this webinar as well as what you would like to see covered both in future webinars and videos on the DevExpress Channel. You can e-mail your comments to feedback@devexpress.com.
