When distributing an application that uses Xceed Grid for WinForms, the Xceed.Grid.DLL, Xceed.Editors.DLL, Xceed.Validation.DLL, and Xceed.UI.dll assemblies must be distributed along with your application. You must not distribute the Xceed.Grid.Design.DLL or Xceed.Editors.Design.DLL assemblies under any circumstances.
The Xceed.Grid.DLL, Xceed.Editors.DLL, Xceed.Validation.DLL, and Xceed.UI.dll assemblies must either be installed into the global assembly cache or must be placed in the same directory as your executable.
If reporting features are used, Xceed.Grid.Reporting.DLL and Xceed.Pdf.DLL must then also be distributed along with your application.
Registered users are permitted to distribute the following assemblies along with applications they develop. You must not distribute the Xceed.Grid.Design.DLL or Xceed.Editors.Design.DLL assemblies under any circumstances nor may you distribute any other Xceed Grid for WinForms files.
The Xceed.Grid.DLL, Xceed.Editors.DLL, Xceed.Validation.DLL, and Xceed.UI.dll assemblies must either be installed into the global assembly cache or must be placed in the same directory as your executable.
If reporting features are used, Xceed.Grid.Reporting.DLL and Xceed.Pdf.DLL must then also be distributed along with your application.
| Assembly | Description |
|---|---|
| Xceed.Grid.DLL | Implements the Xceed.Grid namespace |

| Xceed.UI.WindowsXP.Blue.DLL | Contains the necessary resources for the blue XP theme |
| Xceed.UI.WindowsXP.OliveGreen.DLL | Contains the necessary resources for the olive green XP theme |
| Xceed.UI.WindowsXp.Silver.DLL | Contains the necessary resources for the silver XP theme |
The Xceed.UI.WindowsXP.Blue.dll, Xceed.UI.WindowsXP.OliveGreen.dll and Xceed.UI.WindowsXP.Silver.dll resource assemblies only need to be distributed in the case where you explicitly set a theme via the grid's ResourceAssembly property.
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.
For more information regarding the deployment of .NET applications, please refer to the "Deploying applications" topic of the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.
All the assemblies required to distribute an application that uses Xceed Grid for WinForms are located in the [Program Files]\Xceed\Xceed Grid for WinForms [version]\Bin folder.
