The type or namespace name 'frmAbout' does not exist in the namespace 'DevExpress.Utils.About'

Question

Just upgraded to DevExpress 18.1.5, and my app won't compile because DevExpress.Utils.About.frmAbout doesn't resolve. Did DevExpress replace this with something else?

    private void iAbout_ItemClick(object sender, DevExpress.XtraBars.ItemClickEventArgs e)
    {
        DevExpress.Utils.About.frmAbout dlg = new DevExpress.Utils.About.frmAbout("~");
        dlg.ShowDialog();
    }

Answer 1

DevExpress response:

Yes, we have reworked our frmAbout dialog in version 18.1. Now you can show the dialog using our DevExpress.Utils.About.AboutHelper class as follows:

DevExpress.Utils.About.AboutHelper.Show(DevExpress.Utils.About.ProductKind.DXperienceWin, new DevExpress.Utils.About.ProductStringInfoWin(DevExpress.Utils.About.ProductInfoHelper.PlatformWinForms));
