Deployment of ASPxGridView
- 4 minutes to read
This topic describes assemblies required by web projects that use the functionality of the ASPxGridView control. Some assemblies are essential, while others (that provide additional functionality) can be optionally deployed, depending on your requirements.
Note
If you use other DevExpress components in your project, their use and deployment should comply with corresponding EULA documents. For more details on licensing information and the redistribution policy of DevExpress, refer to the following topic: Redistribution and Deployment.
Depending on the production server’s permission settings and the number of web applications that use the same DevExpress assemblies, you can either register those assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) or place them into your application’s Bin folder on the target computer. See the following topic to learn more about web project deployment techniques: ASP.NET Deployment Content Map.
Use our Assembly Deployment Tool to collect the required redistributable DevExpress and custom assemblies automatically to deploy your application. Otherwise, you can deploy the required assemblies manually.
Required Libraries
Below are the essential libraries required by applications that use ASPxGridView. These libraries are considered to be redistributable under the .NET Controls & Frameworks EULA, and can be redistributed legally.
| Assembly | Description |
|---|---|
| DevExpress.Data.v21.2.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.Web.v21.2.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. |
Optional Libraries
The following libraries contain APIs to implement additional functionality for web projects that use ASPxGridView. Some of them are considered to be redistributable under the .NET Controls & Frameworks EULA, and can thus be redistributed legally, 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 .NET Controls & Frameworks EULA.
Assembly
Description
DevExpress.Web.ASPxThemes.v21.2.dll
Contains classes that implement a set of predefined DevExpress themes for DevExpress web controls. See the following help topic to learn more: ASPxThemes Assembly.
Exporting
If you use the grid’s export functionality (ASPxGridViewExporter), you need to additionally deploy the following assemblies. These libraries are considered to be redistributable under the .NET Controls & Frameworks EULA.
Assembly Description Assemblies required by the Print-Export library. Refer to the following topic for a detailed list of assemblies: XtraPrinting - Deployment. Export to DOCX or RTF format
Deploy the following assembly if you export the grid content to DOCX or RTF format:
Assembly Description DevExpress.RichEdit.v21.2.Export.dll Contains classes required for export to DOCX and RTF format. Binding to XpoDataSource
The following assemblies are required if the grid is bound to an XpoDataSource. Note: These libraries are not considered to be redistributable under the .NET Controls & Frameworks EULA. Their deployment requires a separate valid license for eXpress Persistent Objects.
Assembly
Description
DevExpress.Xpo.v21.2.dll
Contains the classes that support the main functionality of the eXpress Persistent Objects Library.
Note: This assembly is also required when you use XtraGrid’s Server Mode.
SharePoint Integration
If the grid is integrated into a SharePoint environment, the following assemblies should be registered within the SharePoint server’s GAC. See the following topic to learn more about DevExpress SharePoint solutions that automatically register required assemblies: Installation.
{| |-
! Assembly ! Description |-
| DevExpress.SharePoint.2013.v21.2 | Contains classes that implement integration of ASPxGridView and ASPxHtmlEditor into the SharePoint 2013 environment. See the following help topics to learn more:
- ASPxGridView - Support for SharePoint
- ASPxHtmlEditor - Support for SharePoint |}
Localization
If you use satellite resource assemblies to localize ASPxGridView, you need to deploy the corresponding assemblies. See the following topic to learn more: Localizing ASP.NET Controls via Satellite Resource Assemblies.
Redistributable Libraries
The following libraries are considered redistributable under the .NET Controls & Frameworks EULA.
- DevExpress.Data.v21.2.dll
- DevExpress.SharePoint.2013.v21.2.dll
- DevExpress.Web.ASPxThemes.v21.2.dll
- DevExpress.Web.v21.2.dll
- DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v21.2.dll
Note
All required DevExpress assemblies are located in the “C:\Program Files (x86)\DevExpress 21.2\Components\Bin\Framework\“ folder of your development machine after installation.
Non-Redistributable Libraries
Distribution of any DevExpress design-time libraries ending with “.Design” is strictly prohibited. This means that you cannot use our installation for deployment purposes since it includes design libraries that cannot be distributed according to the terms of our EULA.
Please consult the EULA for additional up-to-the-minute information on which libraries, tools and executables are considered redistributable.
