Differences between the files in "Bin" directory and "Bin - Signed"
posted

Hi,

   I installed infragistics winform 2009.1,

after installation, I found there are 2 directories in "XXX\Infragistics\NetAdvantage for .NET 2009.1\Windows Forms",

one is "BIn", another is "Bin - Signed".

which files should I use? what are the differences?

Thank you very much!

    The "Bin - Signed" directory includes files that are digitally-signed (through VeriSign) by Infragistics.  The files are otherwise identical to what is in the "Bin" folder.

    You would generally use the files from this directory if you have a requirement to use only digitally-signed assemblies.  Vista Logo Certification has this requirement, for example.

    If you don't have a specific need to use the digitally-signed files, I recommend against using them.  The files from the "Bin" folder are used by default.

    Accessing a digitally-signed file requires verification against the signing agency's Certificate Revocation List (CRL), which at best incurs a minor performance hit.  See the following article from our online Knowledge Base for more details, including ways to mitigate this performance hit:
