We no longer depend upon it as of DF 6.0.3 ... which we expect to release early this week!

Hi Ward, Did you have any luck on removing the csharp.dll from the entitymodel?

We think we can remove our dependency on CSharp.dll from the Silverlight version of IdeaBlade.EntityModel. We are hopeful of success by our next release (but no promise).]]> Mon, 03 May 2010 09:58:44 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1761&PID=6757#6757 Microsoft.CSharp.dll : Nothing you can do at the moment.... http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1761&PID=6703#6703 Author: WardBell

Nothing you can do at the moment. I doubt we can escape a dependency on it.
 
Despite the name, upon reflection (with Reflector) it doesn't appear that CSharp.dll has much to do with C# per se. You become dependent upon it the moment you take advantage of the "dynamic" keyword and runtime compilation via C#.
 
Documentation is not abundant on this library as we see here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.csharp(VS.71).aspx 
 
You'll get an error complaining about its absence if you have an assembly with out it (and without DevForce, which pulls it in implicitly) ... an error such as:
 
One or more types required to compile a dynamic expression cannot be found. Are you missing references to Microsoft.CSharp.dll and System.Core.dll?
 
I'll bet if you used Dynamic in a VB app you'd find yourself dependent upon it too.
 
Dynamic is a mighty powerful tool ... although the 1/2 Meg price tag does seem steep.
 
At least Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll supports VB-specific functionality.
 
For those who don't know, Microsoft.CSharp.dll is in the Silverlight SDK. On a 32 bit machine the location would be C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v4.0\Libraries\Client.

Thanks. Is there anything I can do about it? The only reason I ask is that the microsoft.Csharp.dll is 466kb and it does bloat my xap file.]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:25:50 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1761&PID=6693#6693 Microsoft.CSharp.dll : IdeaBlade.EntityModel.SL has a... http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1761&PID=6690#6690 Author: davidklitzke

Hi, Is devforce SL v6 now dependant on the Microsoft.CSharp.dll? Im just currently trying to shrink my xap as much as possible for deployment and this is a new dll that has just come in from upgrading to v6. (This is a vb project)
