Deployment
- 3 minutes to read
This document describes assemblies required by web projects that use the functionality of the DevExpress Data Editors. Some of the assemblies are essential, while others that provide additional functionality can be optionally deployed, depending on your requirements.
Note
If you use any DevExpress components in your project, their use and deployment should comply with the corresponding EULA documents. For more details on licensing information and the redistribution policy of DevExpress, refer to Redistribution and Deployment.
Depending on the permissions you have on a production server and the amount of web applications that use the same assemblies provided by DevExpress, you can either register the assemblies in the global system assembly cache (GAC) or place them in the Bin folder of your application on the target computer. To learn more about web project deployment techniques, see the ASP.NET Deployment Content Map topic in MSDN.
Required Libraries
Below are the essential libraries required by applications that use the DevExpress Data Editors.
| Assembly | Description |
|---|---|
| DevExpress.Data.v18.2.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.v18.2.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 provide additional functionality for web projects that use the functionality of the DevExpress Data Editors.
DevExpress Themes
If any provided DevExpress Theme is used, the following assembly should also be deployed.
Assembly
Description
DevExpress.Web.ASPxThemes.v18.2.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 editors 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
For a complete list of redistributable libraries that are considered redistributable under your registered product’s EULA, refer to the Redistributable Assemblies (ASP.NET and MVC Deployment) help topic.
Note
By default, all DevExpress assemblies that might be required are located in the “C:\Program Files (x86)\DevExpress 18.2\Components\Bin\Framework\“ folder of your development machine after installation.
Non-Redistributable Libraries
Distributing any DevExpress design-time libraries ending with “.Design” is strictly prohibited. It 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.
