C1 dll location

    Sorry for the elementary nature of this question, but hey, if you don’t know, you don’t know. :)

    When a WinForms application is deployed, does it matter where the C1 dlls are located? Do they need to go into WindowsSystem32 or into the same folder as the exe?

    Specifically I am using C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.4.dll and C1.Win.C1List.4.dll.

    Hi Jim

    Generally when doing this myself I will put any C1 (or other third party dll’s) that I use into the application directory rather than a 'central’ repository on the end users machine. The logic behind this is that your application might for arguements sake be using the latest version of C1 dll’s. Possibly on your end users’ machines there may be one using an app that I or someone else wrote some time ago using an older version of said dlls, so much older in fact that were they to be superceeded by your newere versions of the same that they cause problems with my app.

    This should also make it easier for you to update your application as time moves on.

    I stress that this is the way that I choose to go, but thus far it has served me well.

    Thanks, Dom, that’s exactly what I needed to know.
