Unsure as to Which DLLs to Redistribute for a WinForms Application #224

Closed TRCarbone closed 2 years ago

TRCarbone commented 2 years ago

I've added the Auth0.OidcClient.WinForms NuGet package to my WinForms application that targets .NET Framework 4.7

After building, my build output folder contains around 200 new DLLs. The obvious ones are:

Auth0.Oidc.Client.dll Auth0.Oidc.Cliient.Core.dll IdentityModel.dll IdentityModel.OidcClient.dll

However, there are numerous DLLs that begin with "Microsoft." and "System." that have been added (i.e. System.Buffers.dll, Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces.dll)

Is it necessary to redistribute all ~200 DLLs or am I missing something?

Thanks for reaching out.

Could you elaborate on what you are asking? Typically, you would install the Nuget and use whatever comes with it. Our SDK doesn't do much on its own, but uses a couple of other dependencies, that all have their own set of dependencies.

Is there any particular problem you are facing?

TRCarbone commented 2 years ago

I guess you kind of answered the question. The dependencies appear to be what are adding all of the extra DLLs.

I decided not to use the package and wrote my own code for just the functions I required.
