The Spread for WinForms controls are shared assemblies; therefore, these DLLs are also added to the global assembly cache (GAC) during installation. The FarPoint.Win.Spread.Design.dll (the Spread Designer assembly) and FarPoint.Win.Ink.dll are also added to the GAC. The FarPoint.Win.TextRenderer.dll is not installed to the GAC. Add this DLL as a project reference in order to use it with Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 or later.
If you want to take advantage of the ink capabilities of Spread Win, you will need to install the runtime components of the Microsoft Tablet PC SDK. The FarPoint.Win.Ink assembly is currently built with version 1.7 of the Microsoft Tablet PC SDK.
For more information about the satellite language assemblies, see Resource Assemblies.
