I'm new to WPF and its toolkit and interested in using it and have found following URLs:
How do I reference the WPF Toolkit in Visual Studio 2010?
WPF Toolkit - Verify upgrade?
However, I'm not sure about the solution. I tried to add its DLL from Solution Explorer by adding its DLL under References. Yes, I do not see any WPFToolkit on Toolbox. I'm not sure why they mean by adding those lines to GAC. Any idea?
It has been installed and it is the latest version. Can somebody give me a direction?
Thanks.

I've installed MVVM Light Toolkit through NuGet in VS 2017. The problem is that when I click "Add New Item" on any project, I don't see any MVVM templates that appear in MVVM Light tutorials.
They must look like this (but I don't see them in my project):
http://prntscr.com/n9bs1q
I found similar questions about VS 2012. The answers advise to search for C:\Program Files (x86)\Laurent Bugnion (GalaSoft)\Mvvm Light Toolkit\Vsix
But I have no such folder not in Program Files (x86), neither in Program Files.
Help me please, what should I do for the templates to appear?
MVVM Light NuGet can only add related resources (assemblies/.cs files) into the project. It wont add Templates into Visual Studio. To get templates in Visual Studio, you have to install MVVM Light Visual Studio Extension by following the below steps.
Open Visual Studio and go to Tools->Extensions and Updates.
In the Extensions and Updates window lick Online in the left pane.
In the search bar, type MVVM Light.
In the search results find MVVM Light for VS2017. Click Download and accept license.
Extension will be installed once Visual Studio gets restarted. Then you can get the templates.
UPDATE:
They have stopped support of Item Templates for MVVM Light in Visual Studio 2017. Its been there up to VS 2015. So you can only get Project Templates (File->New Project) in VS 2017 extension. You can see similar queries here.
First of all, I am completely new to Visual Studio, so please don't be too judgmental. I have a project I need to do in C# for my studies and my team uses a GitHub repository. I am in charge of creating the GUI and I am stuck at the very beggining.
I want to create the main application window using WPF, but when I use toolbox > choose items, I can not see the WPF tab. Also, when I am trying to enable the designer view, nothing happens.
Is it perhaps the software version being Visual Studio Community 2013 causing the issue? Do I need to have the Visual Studio Professional version in order to use WPF toolbox?
I'm attaching a link to the screen of the situation below.
As I presumed, all I needed was the professional version of Visual Studio. After obtaining and installing it everything works fine.
I installed Crystal Reports for VS 13.0.2000 to work with VS 2010. I will need to use CR in a WinForm app.
To my utter surprise, I have no CrystalReportViewer in my VS Toolbox pane for WinForms. The CrystalReportViewer does show up in Toolbox for web forms though.
I could obviously add the viewer to my winform without using the toolbox, but I can not seem to figure out what do I need to reference to get it. I am already referencing all the usual dll's like CrystalReports.Engine and CrystalDecisions.Shared but it does not help.
Does anybody have any idea what I am missing?
You need to ensure that you're targeting the full framework, and not any subsets, such as the client profile
I m a student and i m trying to create a wpf using visual studio 2010 (.NET Framework 4.0. ). I would like to use the DataGrid as i have seen in this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_fHht6J6xc&feature=related

Its already included! The DataGrid toolkit is for .Net 3.5 and VS 2008! Its part of .Net4 (which you must have to have VS2010):

I want to use the AutoCompleteBox in my WPF application but i cannot find it in visual studio. I have VS 2010 ultimate. I just downloaded and installed WPFToolkit.msi and ran it. When i open VS i cannot find the control. Where can i find it? Do i have to reference it somehow? I also have the .dll but i dont know if i need to put that somewhere? Thank you.
The AutoComplete textbox is a componenet which is in the Preview Quality Band in the WPF Toolkit .So it is not available is visualstudio 2010.You need to download and install the Feb 2010 release of the WpfToolkit and follow the instructions from the below SO post
