Deploying the property grid

So far our application is in development and there are only a couple of developers using it. Both of us have run the .msi to install the grid.

 My question, what are the considerations for deloying our app that uses the grid?   Do we just include the .dll itself? What about the xml file? The .design.dll? The .lic file?

I guess what I'm looking for is a description of the workflow for using the control in development and deployment to a customer machine.

Thanks,

Paul

Just include the main .dll file.  This should be copied into the same directory as your EXE file.

The .xml (Intellisense/documentation), .Design.dll (VS/Blend designer support) and .lic (developer licence) files are used only during development.  End users do require a runtime licence, but Visual Studio compiles this into your EXE file, so you don't need to (and mustn't) ship them the .lic (developer licence) file.

Thanks. Sounds pretty easy.

A related question -- one of our developers has been working with a trial version; now that we've switched to the purchased enterprise edition (but still need "nightly build" functionality), what should he do on his particular machine... uninstall the trial version, then reinstall the purchased version, then install the nightly build version...? I can't quite figure this one out!

 Thanks,

Paul

- Uninstall the trial version. 

- Download the nightly build of Enterprise Edition from the store (not from the public trial download page). 

- Install the nightly build of Enterprise Edition.

You don't need to take the interim step of installing the RTM version -- the nightly builds are completely self-contained.
