When distributing an application that uses Xceed's Toolkit for Maui, specific assemblies (which are listed in the Redistributable Files section below) must be distributed. These files must either be installed into the global assembly cache or placed in the same directory as your executable.

Both signed and unsigned versions of the assemblies are available and either version can be distributed. However, remember that any signed software can sometimes cause problems because the .NET Framework or the operating system must contact an authentication server, which can in turn trigger firewall alerts or cause other similar events that can be judged problematic.

Installing Assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache

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

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

Registered users are permitted to distribute the following assemblies, along with any applications developed using Xceed Toolkit for Maui.
