Prism Template Pack isn't coming in Manage Extension in Visual Studio - wpf

I need to create an new WPF App using Prism Architecture, but in VS 2019, 2022, "Prism Template Pack" template isn't coming. Please help me How could i start integrate Prism template for my WPF application.
Thanks in advance..!

From Prism Documentation, the template pack supports VS 19, and I am using it as well.
Anyway there are some workarounds to make it works on 2022.
Personally I prefer to wait for it to be officially released.

Build Ribbon in full MVVM with Dot Net 4.5

we have several applications in FULL MVVM using the Ribbon from Microsoft. And it works fine, it's a great and flexible component :)
I was surprised to have to build my own templates and bindings to be able to use the ribbon in MVVM (I didn't find those files anywhere).
We are still using the Ribbon DLL from Microsoft (released around 2010 ) and can't switch to the ribbon existing in the Framework because it doesn't work with our Templates/bindings. Nothing happens/appears. Using the XAML description, everything is fine. I'm probably missing something. Does someone use it in full MVVM and which approach did you use to get it working ? Does the Framework contains the Templates and bindings hided somewhere ?
To summarize, how to use the ribbon included in the 4.5 Framework in FULL MVVM ?
Thanks for your help guys :)
If you target .NET Framework 4.5 or later you could add a reference to System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon.dll and use the built-in RibbonControl as-is:
<Ribbon />
You should be able to use this one more or less the exact same way as you use your current version. The templating of a control has nothing to do with MVVM. And of course the control comes with a default template.

How do you edit styles in WPF 4.5 under Windows 7?

I just realised that Blend for Visual Studio 2012 does not support WPF apps under W7.
Once I opened a window I can only see raw XAML.
I need to edit a style for a chart dataseries System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Charting. I normally use Blend for these kind of tasks - because it pulls default styles from somewhere and gives it to you in a blink of an eye.
now I am stuck.. what would you guys do?
P.S. here is nice summary for future references: http://blendinsider.com/technical/available-now-blend-for-visual-studio-2012-2012-08-15/
(scroll down to see the table what version supports what)
You need to use the Blend Preview that supports WPF apps.

MVVM visual studio project template for VS2010?

I am running VS2010 and Windows 7. I have seen many people with the template for MVVM. Where can I get this template? I already have WPFToolkit installed, but the template does not appear. I tried to go to the sites, like codeplex, that say they have it and it turns out to be the WPFToolkit installer.
you can use this template: WPF MVVM project template
try the first download here
For the benefit of other readers/, WPF Model-View-ModelView Toolkit v3.5.50211.1 may be downloaded /from CodePleax, at this URL:
http://wpf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=WPF%20Model-View-ViewModel%20Toolkit&ProjectName=wpf
According to the web site as of Nov 9, 2011, this toolkit only works for VS2008. - KRP

WPF Toolkit Datagrid with .Net 3.5 no sp1

I've been trying to use the WPF toolkit in a WPF application that I'm deploying internally at my company, but the toolkit needs .Net 3.5 sp1. The only difference between sp0 and sp1 for the toolkit is the MultiSelector class that the DataGrid uses.
My question is, does anybody know of a workaround for this so sp1 isn't required? Is there a custom MultiSelector class that I could use?
I know the toolkit was started before sp1 but I'm not sure what kind of progress was made before the MultiSelector was added.
I've tried using ILDasm to get the IL code for the MultiSelector class and generate my own, but I haven't had any success as it implements features from internal parts of the Selector class in PresentationFramework.dll.
Any help on this matter would be great, and upgrading everybody to .Net 3.5 sp1 is currently not an option.
If anybody knows about another free DataGrid control that could be used in place of the WPF Toolkit, it would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,
-Noah
You won't be able to use a different MultiSelector, as the one in the toolkit has a hard reference to the type in the SP1 version of the framework. Even if you did create your own MultiSelector for use, you would have to change the grid control to use yours, which would require decompiling it into source, modifying it, and then recompiling it, which beyond being a PITA, is probably a violation of the EULA as well.
As for a free data grid alternative, I would check out Xceeds DataGrid for WPF. The Express edition is free:
