Reference DevExpress UWP Assemblies To Build Applications Using Cloud Services
- 2 minutes to read
When you add DevExpress UWP controls from the toolbox, the corresponding DevExpress Software Development Kit (SDK) is automatically referenced.
To build an application that uses DevExpress UWP controls on a build server that doesn’t have the required SDK installed, you need to manually reference the required assemblies instead. Follow these steps to manually reference DevExpress assemblies:
- Open the Reference Manager dialog (for instance, using the PROJECT | Add Reference menu item).
- Click the Browse button, navigate to the “Components\Bin\UWP\“ folder within the installation folder (“C:\Program Files (x86)\DevExpress 19.2\“, by default), and select the assemblies.
- Copy the corresponding *.pri files and folders with resources (*.xaml files) from the installation folder to your project keeping the folder structure.
