Hi,
We use Infragistics v8.1 for winforms in our .NET 2.0 windows application. (Netadvantage for windows forms 2008)
The .NET windows application is deployed on windows servers.
Should Infragistics be installed on every machine where the .NET application is running?
Or can we just use the dll reference and run the applications?
Also, Will the application work if the Windows OS on the servers are different?
Can we use same version of Infragistics dlls for all the windows OS?
Thanks
Ashok
Hi Ashok,
In theory, everything should work the same. the O/S should not make any difference.
In reality of course, there are sometimes minor behavior changes in the O/S that might have some effect on the application, but in my experience, nothing will affect the WinGrid very much. Most of the O/S changes that affect the controls are things like theming and certain messages related to the form resizing and moving. These changes are more likely to affect the ToolbarsManager control than the grid.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply. Infragistics dlls are in the bin directory and they are deployed along with the application.
We use Infragistics wingrid v8.1 in our .NET 2.0 windows application. (NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 1 CLR 2.0).
Now we want to upgrade OS of application servers from Windows 2003 to 2008. Would the Wingrid work in the same way in the new windows 2008 OS as it works in Windows 2003?
Will there be any compatibility issue because of OS upgrade?
ThanksAshok

It depends what you mean by "installed". You should not install NetAdvantage on the client machine(s). In fact, doing so would violate our license agreement. When you purchase NetAdvantage you are purchasing a license to use it for software development. Presumably, your clients do not need to do software development. If they do, they would need to purchase a license for NetAdvantage and install it themselves.

Typically, you would just install the dll's on the client machine along with your application. You can install DotNet assemblies into the GAC or copy them locally.

Assuming that the OS in question has the Dotnet framework installed, then yes.
