The PersistentRepository class allows you to store repository items and reuse them across container controls.
Repository items added to a container control’s internal collection (for example, EditorContainer.RepositoryItems) cannot be reused. To use one repository item in multiple controls, do the following:
PersistentRepository object.PersistentRepository object to a container control’s ExternalRepository property.The following example uses a PersistentRepository to reuse a single repository item in a Data Grid and a Tree List.

using DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository;
public partial class Form1 : XtraForm {
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
// Create a persistent repository
PersistentRepository rep = new PersistentRepository();
//Add a repository item to the persistent repository
RepositoryItemSpinEdit spin = new RepositoryItemSpinEdit();
rep.Items.Add(spin);
//Link the persistent repository to controls
gridControl1.ExternalRepository = rep;
treeList1.ExternalRepository = rep;
// Assign the repository item to columns
gridView1.Columns["Id"].ColumnEdit = spin;
treeList1.Columns["Id"].ColumnEdit = spin;
