3. Invoke the Application Designer for the YourSolutionName/WebApplication.xx file by double-clicking it in the Solution Explorer. Invoke the Toolbox (Alt+X+T) and then drag & drop the GaugePropertyEditorAspNetModule component into the modules list on the left.
4. Define a string persistent property within your business class and decorate it with the DevExpress.Persistent.Base.EditorAliasAttribute passing the corresponding PropertyEditor alias string as a parameter. See the WinWebSolution.Module\GaugeDemoObject.cs .xx file for an example.
