How do I set up a package source in Visual Studio?
eXpandFramework is the first open source project based on the DevExpress eXpressApp Framework (XAF). The eXpressApp Framework ships with DXperience Universal and can be evaluated free of charge (30 day trial) at: https://www.devexpress.com/ClientCenter/Downloads.
eXpandFramework was started and is led by Tolis Bekiaris. Tolis has made a huge contribution to XAF over the years receiving great recognition from DevExpress and the whole XAF community. In April 2011 Tolis was honoured to be hired as Technical Evangelist for DevExpress frameworks!
The eXpandFramework is an extension of XAF and operates within the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL). Although XAF is not an open source product it can be purchased directly from DevExpress.
The eXpandFramework team have extended the capabilities of the eXpressApp Framework to include 70 cutting-edge assemblies containing tools and modules that target numerous business scenarios.
The main idea behind eXpandFramework is to offer as many features as possible to developers/business users through a declarative approach (configuring files rather than writing code). Please go through each of the following brief descriptions and find out how eXpandFramework can help you accomplish your complex development tasks with easy declarative programming. Below you can see some descriptions and screenshots of our basic modules (screenshots taken from eXpand FeatureCenter application that comes along with the download). In the folder Demos you can find a list of demos like XVideoRental, SecurityDemo, MiddleTier, Workflow and installation helper solutions for each module.
Examples of those modules include (in the two right columns you can see the supported platform):

Extends XAF by adding great new features for example:
- the ability to generate runtime members for your objects
- creating Application/Role/User models in the database
- storing your web cookies in the database
- handling of external application models
- combine end user modifications with application model
- support for multiple models at design time

Provides collaboration between a xaf application and another system by allowing you to create object serialization graphs. The complexity of a graph can be configured using either UI or design time attributes. Changing object keys and choosing serialization strategies are straightforward as seen in this screenshot.
