How can I deploy my Aspose.Cells.GridWeb‑based web project/solution on the server?

If you need to deploy the web application containing the GridWeb control, you should copy the “acw_client” directory into your project folder; otherwise your web application (deployed on the server) could not find it.

You can specify the scripting path by adding the following lines of code into the configuration section (e.g., in the web.config file in your VS.NET project). The “acw_client” folder contains files; Aspose.Cells.GridWeb uses this folder to manage its internal configuration. It has script files, image files, and other files to specify GridWeb’s behavior and set other operations. The config file is used to prevent the control from using the embedded client resources (images, scripts, etc.), which is useful in some cases/scenarios.

XML

<appSettings>
  <add key="aspose.cells.gridweb.acw_client_path" value="/grid/acw_client/"/>
  <add key="aspose.cells.gridweb.force_script_path" value="true"/>
  <add key="aspose.cells.gridweb.forcepath" value="true"/>
</appSettings>

The path is always related to the project’s directory. You should not use any directory that is outside the project’s directory. Therefore, it is necessary to copy the “acw_client” directory (from your GridWeb installation folder) into the project’s directory.
