Missing Stuff

I decided to use the A.M. in my latest project to cut down on the Telerik DLL Size
I found a couple things,

First you need to upload all your DLLs to the minifier at the same time so It can asses what you need better. I see why but this shouldnt be a requirement. Do I need to upload my DLL's too so the minifier can see what I am using?

I found that simple stuff like EventArgs Types and Gridview Sum Aggregate Functions are removed.

I would like to see two minifier modes. A Safe mode that removes only what is unchecked(single dll minify) and an aggressive mode that looks at all DLL's uploaded and removes all that is not used.

I was under the impression that I was only to upload Telerik DLL's to the minifier but after writing this I am thinking that is not true. Only the Telerik Assemblies are minified but all DLL's that reference them should be uploaded. Is that right?

Cool
Could you post a bug about the Telerik.Windows.Controal.EventArgs and the GridView Aggregate Functions being removed when the really were needed?
Thanks
I see huge potential for this app

Hi MiddleTommy,

 Sure, I've create work item called -" AssemblyMinifier: After minfying RadGridView - the Sum Aggregate Functions are removed." It will be fixed soon.
Thanks for your interest in the "Assembly Minifier". :)

Hi,

I'm playing with the assembly minifier to improve control startup.

I've two suggestions :

- Is it possible to not flush the uploaded DLL and choice, when extracting the result ?
I often need to modify my choice after recompiling my solution with extracted DLL. And re-do the last choice can be a pain in case of big sets with fine tuning.

- Can you extract the common classes between TreeListView and GridView (like columns) in a third namespace, so we can embedd common+treelistview without the gridview ?

Thanks for your work !

Can you inform us about the progress of the "xap minifier" ?

Regards,

Hello DenisCL,

 I think your suggestion is good to have, that's why I've created Pits item for it, so you may vote for it. 
About the TreeListView - we'll consider what can be split in a way that will allow better minification. 

The "Xap Minifier" is ready to go (it is testing phase) and will be published and officially announced in a week or two. Hope you'll try it once it is available and give us your valuable feedback.
Thank you.
