Resco SmartGrid .NET FAQs

Where can I use the control ?

The SmartGrid is written fully in managed code targeting .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft .NET Compact Framework. You can use it on any desktop computer with installed .NET Framework and on any mobile device that has support for .NET Compact Framework ( you can check the following page ). The component has desing time support best used with the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, or higher.

What is the difference between Standard and Professional edition ?
How can I get the SmartGridDesigner ?

The SmartGridDesigner comes only with the Professional edition of the SmartGrid. This license to this edition also grants you to use the control by up to four developers. If the company has more developers, you should buy more licenses or the Site license.
The SmartGridDesigner is best suitable for enterprise developement specifically when you are using the XML templates, allowing the UI changes without the need to recompile project.
You can also distribute the SmartGridDesigner with your products, so you can provide your clients with the tool to customize your applications.

The control is grayed/is missing in the toolbox.

You should add the proper version of the control's library to the toolbox. When developing in the Compact Framework you should add to toolbox the design-time library located in [CF folder]/Design.

I have upgraded the control and evaluation message remains/upgrade does not show.

The control's dlls are sometimes cached by VisualStudio.NET. Make sure that you use latest library in your project, i.e. by removing and adding the control reference.

Where can I found the control's documentation ?

The documentation is integrated with the Visual Studio .NET during the installation process. You should try turning off the filters or restarting VS.NET if it is not displayed in the Help Contents...

If you want to explore documentation from out of VS.NET, you can use following command:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help\dexplore.exe"
