Developer Express Expert w/ Smart Client Application Block Library

I have a fully developed windows desktop application. Unfortunately, we were forced to upgrade our 3rd party control, developer express ([login to view URL]) and the migration from 2006 to 2009 has not been so straightforward. We have gotten over many of the hurdles, but one still remains. However, before considering this job, the code was written using Microsoft Application Blocks - Smart Client Application Block Library. Given that, self evaluate yourself to realize whether or not you would consider yourself to be an expert within this type of coding. If you do not believe yourself to be one, this job probably is not for you. Additionally, you must be extremely proficient using DevExpress XPO, retain your own license, and have incorporated an upgrade from 2006 to 2009 or you will be severely disadvantaged. The problem with the current state of the application is that there is policy functionality that is not being recognized and incorporated when using a direct connection between one application (the book) and another (the player). While it does appear that the direct connection itself can be established, the policy that becomes associated with that direct connection is failing. I need this corrected and my understanding is that the problem stems from the following: Relating specifically to the current problem, it stems from the way the program uses XPO to relate objects in parent child relationships. When a parent object such as a player is loaded, related child objects such as policy are supposed to be loaded as well. This is not happening and it is either due to the code, the wrong implementation of XPO, or perhaps (but unlikely) a DevExpress bug or issue. One of the central “improvements?? of DevExpress since the 6.3 version the app was built with, deals explicitly with relationships and nested collections. The evidence is strongly suggestive that XPO Collections in the domain layer are where additional problems reside.
