XtraGrid requires DevExpress.Sparkline.v13.1.Core.dll

created 12 years ago

After reviewing the dependencies for the different WinForms components, I have seen that DevExpress.Sparkline.v13.1.Core.dll is not in the required list, but if you try to sort a column on a XtraGrid without this library an exception is thrown saying the the aforementioned library is not present.

Maybe the documentation should reflect this fact.

Regards,
Martin.

    Hello,
    I have tried to replicate this behavior in a sample project, but haven't succeeded. Attached is a project (and a video) that illustrates my attempts to reproduce your scenario and the issue you are experiencing. Please try to modify this project so that it illustrates the problematic behavior and send it to us.
    If you add the RepositoryItemSparkLineEdit to the GridControl.RepositoryItems collection via the grid's designer, the DevExpress.Sparkline.v13.1.Core.dll library will be added automatically.
    I hope to hear from you soon.

      Andrew:
      I'm up to my eyes in work at the moment, and have no found time to try and reproduce the problem in the test project, but I can send you the next best thing! We use SmartAssembly to monitor errores and I've attached the exception file for your perusal.
      In the project(s) where this is occurring, it is just a converted solution (via Project Converter) from the previous release (v12.2.10).
      There is no Sparkline component used in the project and neither is there any assembly reference to the Sparkline assemblies.
      I hope this helps find the problem.
      Regards,
      Martin.

        Hello Martin,
        Thank you for your assistance.
        We have researched our code and come to the conclusion that a DevExpress.Sparkline.v13.1.Core.dll library must be in the Redistribution and Deployment lists, because it is implicitly used by the GridControl. I have created a separate bug report to update our documentation -
        Redistributable Assemblies - Documentation - GridControl - The Redistributable Assemblies topic does not contain DevExpress.Sparkline.v13.1.Core.dll.
        Please accept our apologies for this misunderstanding. You need to add the DevExpress.Sparkline.v13.1.Core.dll library to a folder with redistributive assemblies.
        Feel free to contact us if you experience any further difficulties.

            Hi,
            Yes, this fix will be included in v13.1.5. At the moment, you can download and test a hotfix for this issue from the The GridColumn.GetIsNonSortableEditor method causes the loading of the DevExpress.Sparkline.v13.1.Core.dll assembly thread.

                Hello David,
                Here is the correct link to the list of the Redistributable Assemblies:  Redistribution and Deployment. I updated Alexey's answer.  Please note that you can use our Assembly Deployment Tool to analyze your project and obtain the list of assemblies that should be deployed in your particular case.
