Hi all,I just wanted to start using the version-free assemblies for our new projects.I have read about the "how-to": (http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2010.2/CLR2.0/html/Introduction_Using_Version_Free_Assemblies.html)where you mention that these assemblies have to be installed in the GAC.
When using the assemblies with version I never installed them in the GAC, just referenced them in the ToolBox pointing to the desired location. That worked fine.When I dragged a control to my form (UltraGrid) it showed up on the form and the relevant assemblies were automatically referenced (Shared, Win.Misc, Win, Win.UltraGrid).
Now after creating a new toolbox for the version-free assemblies (without putting them in the GAC - just like I did with the versioned ones) I can no longer drag a Control to my form.It doesn't show up (not on the form, just below in the bottom-line) and no related assemblies get referenced. Even if I reference the missing assemblies myself, I can not get the control displayed on my form.
What am I doing wrong here?Any help is kindly appreciated.
best regardsAndy
Anybody?
Isn't this something that everybody needs to know when upgrading to versionless dll's?
Hi Rene,
By default on installation assemblies are installed into the GAC: Where files are placed on your File System during installation
Without copying the version free assemblies into the GAC they will be placed beneath the form as you have already noticed.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Stefaniya
