Deployment of ASPxSpreadsheet
- 4 minutes to read
This document describes the assemblies required by web projects that use the functionality of the DevExpress Spreadsheet for ASP.NET. Some of the assemblies are essential, while others that provide additional functionality can optionally be deployed, depending on your requirements.
Note
If you use other DevExpress components in your project, their use and deployment should comply with the corresponding EULA documents. For more details on licensing and the redistribution policy of DevExpress, refer to Redistribution and Deployment.
Depending on the permissions you have set on a production server and the amount of web applications that use assemblies provided by DevExpress, you can either register the assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) or place them into the Bin folder of your application on the target computer. To learn more about web project deployment techniques, see the Web Deployment Content Map for Visual Studio and ASP.NET article in MSDN.
Required Libraries
Below is a list of essential libraries required by applications that use the ASPxSpreadsheet. These libraries are considered to be redistributable under the .NET Controls & Frameworks EULA, and thus can be redistributed legally.
Assembly | Description |
|---|---|
DevExpress.Data.v19.1.dll | Implements the most basic functionality common to all DevExpress controls. This includes classes for data binding, skinning, printing, exporting, as well as many other auxiliary types and resources. |
DevExpress.Office.v19.1.Core.dll | Contains base classes common for Office File API and Office controls. |
DevExpress.Charts.v19.1.Core.dll | All DevExpress Charting controls contain classes shared via the same charting engine. These classes, along with a codebase, are intended for internal use, but also provide the basic functionality for ASP.NET Charts, WinForms Charts, and WPF Charts. This assembly is also required when deploying an application containing the WPF Spreadsheet control with a chart. |
DevExpress.XtraCharts.v19.1.dll | Contains basic classes that implement the main functionality for the XtraCharts suite. |
DevExpress.XtraCharts.v19.1.Web.dll | Contains the WebChartControl control, which is intended for use in ASP.NET applications. |
DevExpress.Web.v19.1.dll | Contains classes that implement the core functionality of all DevExpress web controls and the functionality of controls from the following components: Data Editors, GridView, Card View, Vertical Grid, Data and Image Navigation, Docking and Popups, Site Navigation and Layout, File Management and Multi-Use Site Controls. |
DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v19.1.Core.dll | Contains basic classes that implement the main functionality of DevExpress Spreadsheet. |
DevExpress.Web.ASPxSpreadsheet.v19.1.dll | Contains classes that implement a functionality related to the ASPxSpreadsheet control. See Spreadsheet and DevExpress.Web.ASPxSpreadsheet to learn more. |
Optional Libraries
The following libraries provide additional functionality for web projects that use the functionality of the DevExpress Spreadsheet for ASP.NET. Some of them are considered to be redistributable under the DevExpress EULA, and thus can be legally redistributed, while others require separate licenses.
DevExpress Themes
If any provided DevExpress Theme is used, the following assembly should also be deployed. This library is considered to be redistributable under the DevExpress EULA.
Assembly
Description
DevExpress.Web.ASPxThemes.v19.1.dll
Contains classes that implement a set of predefined DevExpress themes for DevExpress web controls. See ASPxThemes Assembly to learn more.
Localization
If you localize the Spreadsheet control using the satellite resource assemblies, you need to deploy the corresponding assemblies. To learn more, see the Localizing ASP.NET Controls via Satellite Resource Assemblies topic.
Redistributable Libraries
The following list summarizes the libraries considered redistributable under the DevExpress EULA.
- DevExpress.Data.v19.1.dll
- DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v19.1.Core.dll
- DevExpress.Web.ASPxSpreadsheet.v19.1.dll
- DevExpress.Web.ASPxThemes.v19.1.dll
- DevExpress.Web.v19.1.dll
Note
By default, all required DevExpress assemblies are located in the “C:\Program Files (x86)\DevExpress 19.1\Components\Bin\Framework\“ folder of your development machine after installation.
Non-Redistributable Libraries
Distributing any DevExpress design-time libraries ending in “.Design” is strictly prohibited. This means that you cannot use the DevExpress installation for deployment purposes, since it includes design libraries that cannot be distributed according to the terms of the EULA.
Please consult the EULA for additional up-to-the-minute information on which libraries, tools and executables are considered redistributable.
