Deployment - MVC Extensions
- 6 minutes to read
This document describes assemblies required by web projects that use the functionality of the DevExpress ASP.NET MVC Extensions. 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, using and deploying them should comply with corresponding EULA documents. For more details on licensing information and the redistribution policy of DevExpress, refer to Redistribution and Deployment.
Depending upon 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 into the Bin folder of your application on the target computer. To learn more about web project deployment techniques, see ASP.NET Deployment Content Map in MSDN.
Note
Refer to the Web Server section of the System Requirements (ASP.NET MVC) topic to learn about web server requirements.
Note that the 19.2 number encountered in the assembly and folder names in this topic identifies a product version’s year and volume number. You can find more information about our product delivery and versioning model at the Product Delivery Model web page.

Optional Libraries
The following libraries provide additional functionality for web projects that use the functionality of the DevExpress ASP.NET MVC Extensions.
DevExpress Themes
If any provided DevExpress Theme is used, the following assembly should also be deployed.
Assembly
Description
DevExpress.Web.ASPxThemes.v19.2.dll
Contains classes that implement a set of predefined DevExpress themes for DevExpress web controls. See ASPxThemes Assembly to learn more.
Exporting
Some DevExpress extensions (such as GridView) provide you with an ability to export their content. If you use the export functionality, you need to deploy some additional assemblies.
GridView Export
If the GridView’s export functionality is used (via the GridViewExtension‘s Write… methods), you need to additionally deploy the following assemblies.
Assembly Description Assemblies required by the Printing-Exporting library. See the XtraPrinting - Deployment topic for a detail list.
Localization
If you localize DevExpress MVC extensions 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 libraries that are considered redistributable, refer to your owned product’s EULA.
Note
By default, all DevExpress assemblies that may be required are located in the “C:\Program Files (x86)\DevExpress 19.2\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 a deployment purpose 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.
