When distributing an application that uses Xceed DataGrid for WPF, the Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.dll, Xceed.Wpf.Controls.dll, and (optionally) Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.ThemePack.[#].dll and Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.Views3D.dll assemblies must be distributed along with your application and must either be installed into the global assembly cache or placed in the same directory as your executable.

Both signed and unsigned versions of Xceed DataGrid for WPF assemblies are available. Either version can be distributed, but please remember that signed software of any kind can sometimes cause problems because the .NET Framework or the operating system must contact an authentication server, which can in turn trigger firewall alerts, etc.

Installing Assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache

In order to install assemblies into the global assembly cache, Microsoft Windows Installer 2.0 must be used. This is the recommended and most common way to add assemblies to the global assembly cache and it provides reference counting of assemblies in the global assembly cache, plus other benefits.

For more information in regards to installing assemblies into the global assembly cache, please refer to the "Installing an Assembly into the Global Assembly Cache" topic of the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.

Registered users are permitted to distribute the following assemblies along with any applications developed using Xceed DataGrid for WPF. Under no circumstances is it permitted to distribute any other files. 

Both signed and unsigned versions of Xceed DataGrid for WPF assemblies are available. Either version can be distributed, but please remember that signed software of any kind can sometimes cause problems because the .NET Framework or the operating system must contact an authentication server, which can in turn trigger firewall alerts, etc.
