Can I use third party component in Smart Client application?

[imagina]

Hello

I try to develop a smart client for using in my company's lan. And I need to
use a third party component in my smart client application. With no third
party component, my smart client works fine but with the component it does
not seem to work.
I do not know that is it possible to use third party component with smart
client.
And if it possibly , how to deploy it?

Thanks in advance.

This depends on the component. Is it designed for use with the .NET
Compact Framework?

The smart client concept won't install any ActiveX components or ActiveX
DLLs on the client computer. Basically any dotnet DLL that you
developed/bought etc. will be loaded from the server.

It's my belief that you can't do 100% auto deploy for a professional rich
client UI.

I was looking into using smart client (aka: no touch, aka: auto deploy) for
my custom assemblies. For the rest (shortcuts, ActiveX dependecies, etc.) I
would need to create a small installer package.
