I am trying to use the 2011.2 version free Windows form dll files. I followed the directions at http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2011.2/CLR2.0/html/Introduction_Using_Version_Free_Assemblies.html (although there is no C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2011.2\Windows Forms\Bin directory in 11.2 since the CLR2.0 and CLR4.0 subdirectories were added). When I tried to add the assemblies to the GAC (by dragging the files to c:\Windows\assembly and using GacUtil.exe), the files could not be added. As a result, when I tried to add a control to a form, it placed the control at the bottom of the form in the components section instead of adding it to the form. (http://forums.infragistics.com/forums/p/51009/269432.aspx)
Is there a reason why this is occurring? Is there another step I need to do to successfully register the assemblies in the GAC for the 11.2 assemblies?
As a side note, I was able to use and register the 10.2 version free dll files after I was unable to install the 11.2 files.
Hello,
Without copying the version free assemblies into the GAC they will be placed beneath the form. So firs you should Add Version free assembly into the GAC, If you were not able to move Version free assembly to the GAC, it seems to me that you have no permission to write to GAC, so please verify that you are logged with account, which has administrative rights. What happen when you try to add Version Free Assembly to the GAC, is there any error message or something?
After you have Version free assembly to the GAC, create a toolbox tab in Visual Studio and add the controls in the version-free assemblies located in the Bin folder. Create a new Windows Forms project in order to test Version free assembly.
I am waiting for your feedback.
I do have the administrative rights to add assemblies to the GAC since I was able to add the 10.2 version free assemblies after I was unable to install the 11.2 files.
When I try to add the 11.2 assemblies, I do not get any error messages. They simply are not added in the GAC. I also did not see any error messages in the Event Viewer.
I have been able to add and use the 10.2 assemblies, but have not been able to install and use the 11.2 assemblies.
