Aspose.Tasks could be deployed on your machine in two ways: using full MSI installer or just the single dll. Both of them are available for free download at the Aspose.Tasks download page . Using the installer has a couple of advantages:
- it makes adding the assembly to the Add Reference dialog box in Visual Studio etc;
- it contains the demo projects that allow you to obtain "real" code samples;
- it contains the offline API documentation.
