DevExpress CodeRush Tips&Tricks

DXCore contains uniquely-named duplicates (to avoid naming collision and other design-time issues) of most of DevExpress controls. These controls are located in the “DevExpress.DXCore.Controls.*” assemblies. They can be used when writing DXCore plug-ins only. It is impossible to use these controls in an arbitrary application. You need the DXCore design-time assemblies to be able to use these components at design time. However, these assemblies are only available for customers who have a DXperience Subscription (customers who have already paid for the design-time portion for the corresponding controls in DXCore).

Also, there are several other DXCore-specific components added into your Visual Studio toolbox, which you can use inside your DXCore based plug-ins.
