This section describes the preferred distribution method when shipping SftTabs/NET with your application. This ensures that your application can be safely installed and use SftTabs/NET even if another vendor has already installed his application which also uses SftTabs/NET.
Distribution of SftTabs/NET is limited to the run-time portion of the product. Redistributable files are listed in the product license agreement. No other files may be distributed.
When distributing SftTabs/NET with your application, only the following files can be distributed with your application royalty-free. These files allow the use of the control with your application. The design-time interface is no longer available once SftTabs/NET is shipped with your application. For additional information regarding distributing this control with your application, see the license agreement.
Important: Redistributable files are located in the SftTabs/NET installation directory (\Program Files (x86)\Softelvdm\SftTabs NET 3.0\Redist\).
These files must be shipped with your application if SftTabs/NET is used:
| File Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Softelvdm.SftTabsNET.dll | Required. SftTabs/NET assembly. |
.NET Framework applications ship the assembly from the Redist directory. When a .NET 10 application is built, the assembly for .NET 10 is copied from the SftTabs/NET NuGet package to the application's output folder; ship that copy (see Using SftTabs/NET with .NET 10).
When distributing SftTabs/NET with a .NET Framework application, the SftTabs/NET assembly can optionally be registered in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). This is not required. The Gacutil tool is used to register assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache. For more information about the Global Assembly Cache, please see the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.
