DevExpress Contrib is a general purpose library which is not frequently compiled with an application. One way to use the library is to include a Reference Path (in project properties) in the projects of your application. To facilitate moving DevExpress Contrib assemblies to this location you may use the DevExpressContribLibraryPath environment variable. If this variable exists, the post build event of DevExpress Contrib projects will copy the assembly to the directory pointed to by the DevExpressContribLibraryPath environment variable.

Example:

If your DevExpressContribLibraryPath environment variable is set to: C:\Development\Lib then the assemblies will be copied to that path when DevExpress Contrib is compiled. If the DevExpressContribLibraryPath environment variable is not set then the copy will be ignored.
