Large .NET DLL

Back

Question:
Hello, I purchased the Chilkat Libraries, and I was just wondering about something. Even though I purchased them all, I really only need one or two per application that I write. My application is only 2 mb in size, so adding the entire chilkat DLL (3 mb) is a bit overkill since it more than doubles the size of my application. In one of my smaller applications (1mb), all I need is the zip library, and it seems silly for me to have to learn and use an alternative Zip library simply because your entire DLL is relatively huge.

Can you please send me a DLL that only has the zip functionality with any underlying shared items included but without any of the other possible functionalities. Something like ChilkatZip.dll. You have to see my concern in more than doubling the size of my application simply so I can include zip functionality with the library I purchased from you. I have purchased a license for all your products, so I don't see any reason not to allow customers to use specialized DLLs rather than one monster do it all library.

Can you see where I am coming from and can you help me out?

Answer:
Yes, Chilkat understands your concern and will provide a Zip-Only DLL. In general, if you need a specific product DLL for .NET, please send a request to support@chilkatsoft.com indicating the .NET Framework version you are using and the product name. If the DLL is already pre-built, Chilkat will provide the download link. Otherwise the DLL can be provided within a few days.
