Is there a specific reason why the GAC continues to be used as the default and expected installation of the library?
Since day 1 of purchasing Syncfusion I continue to run into trouble with this and I do not understand why. Even the ASP.NET team has moved away from this (i.e. MVC is bin deployed) because it is much easier to maintain as part of the solution.
I just lost an hour because I updated to v11 and my projects stopped working. I manually bin deploy, but now that it was in GAC it was having trouble. I uninstalled from the GAC - runs perfect.
Same goes for source control projects. I recently cloned a test project (from samples I had modified). It was on version 10, since I no longer have that installed (PC refresh), the project couldn't run. I had to either install it or bin-deploy it.
Another reason - all your samples and examples cannot be easily run because they are built around a specific version that I do not have (nor want to have) installed on my machine.
So why the GAC and can you move to an easier to manage bin deployment?
