   Note:

   Pre-built assemblies are included with the sample project.

3. Deploy the mobile project assembly files to the <ArcGIS Mobile Project Center program folder>\Extensions and \Extensions\Win32 folders on your desktop where you'll author your mobile project with the Mobile Project Center application. See the Deploying Extensions section for details and path information.
