GridDesktop: Dependency "HtmlTextWriter"

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

We have code in our app that tries to load all referenced assemblies. This code fails after integrating “Aspose.Cells.GridDesktop”:

Could not load file or assembly 'HtmlTextWriter, Version=2.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

See attached sample:
GridDesktopDependencies.zip (4.7 KB)

Is this intended or is your nuget package missing a dependency?

We could probably work around it by adding the “HtmlTextWriter” package ourselves. But we probably don’t need it, as we want to use GridDesktop in readonly mode to view excel files. So, could you confirm whether it is safe to ignore this error in our use case?

The root cause lies in the use of related APIs of HtmlTextWriter within the module for parsing and editing comments. We will make improvements to this.
