Xceed Real-Time Zip for .NET Documentation
Deploying
Welcome to Xceed Real-Time Zip for .NET, .NET Standard & Xamarin > Deploying

When distributing an application that uses Xceed's Real-Time Zip capabilities, Xceed.Zip.dll and Xceed.Compression.dll must minimally be distributed along with the application. If the application performs streaming compression, distribute Xceed.Compression.Formats.dll as well.

The assemblies must either be installed into the global assembly cache or must be placed in the same directory as the executable.

For more information regarding the deployment of .NET applications, please refer to the Deploying applications topic of the .NET Framework Developer's Guide. For more information regarding the deployment of .NET applications for the Compact Framework, please refer to the Deploying Device Projects and Distributing Device Applications topics of the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.
