How to use this theme in LightSwitch 2012 project - silverlight

I just found this theme http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2010/09/09/silverlight-jetpack-theme-released.aspx which you can download within this package http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14590.
But, the VSIX addon files are not compatible with VS 2012, and I have no idea how I may use the raw XAML files in my project.
Hope anybody can help out, and I can use this one in my project!
Best regards,
Simon

Unfortunately, it's not that easy to just use a Silverlight theme in LightSwitch.
I've been meaning to create some new LightSwitch themes to add to my Luminous Themes for LightSwitch extension, but I just haven't had time.
Adapting the available Silverlight themes for use in LightSwitch is on my to do list. My themes are made available to the community at no cost.
Themes similar to what you want are available as a paid product at LightSwitch Extras.

Accessing Spire.PdfViewer.Wpf.dll via Nuget

I am working with Spire.PdfViewer for a WPF Application.
After downloading the package, the Spire.PdfViewer.Wpf.dll should be found in the bin folder of my project. Unfortunately I'm not able to find the library on my network.
The documentation is found under this link:
http://www.e-iceblue.com/Tutorials/Spire.PDFViewer/Demos/Quick-guide/WPF-How-to-add-Controls-to-Toolbox.html
Thank you
According to the description for Spire.PDFViewer NuGet package on the official site, it mentioned that “With Spire.PDFViewer, developers can create any WinForms application to open, view and print PDF document in C# and Visual Basic on .NET”. It is a free version for .NET.
For the version for WPF, you need to buy download the Spire.PDFViewer Pack from below link, which contains Spire.PDFViewer for WPF components.
http://www.e-iceblue.com/Introduce/word-viewer-wpf-introduce.html#.V8Uzrih94z4
After installing, please choose the Spire.PdfViewer.Wpf.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\e-iceblue\Spire.PdfViewer\Bin\WPF4.0. Then you can add PDFViewer controls into Toolbox.

How to make an setup just like Devexpress installation (v11.1.8)?

I want to pack my file in to a single executable file "setup.exe", my application is written in c# and WPF, I know that there are a lot of applications out in the store for creating a installation pack, but the point is which one would help me to build my installation pack just like Devexpress dose ?
For an UI similar to DevExpress you will need a setup authoring tool which offers an external UI and rich graphics.
Advanced Installer and InstallShield have some great UI themes which can get you started. You can also find a list of setup tools here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_installation_software
You'll probably have to roll a custom solution for this one. I expect nothing less of the Devexpress team then creating their own installer.
If you're application is not heavily bound into the registry and all kind of windows folders it should not be that hard to create an application that extracts some files into a directory and create some great UI while copying.

WPF SDK DownLoad (For offline Usage)

Is there SDK available to download for wpf, as I wanto read that SDK when I don't have internet. Any idea about it, from where can I download SDK for WPF.
WPF is part of Visual studio, you don't need an SDK.
If you want to learn WPF, trying buying a book (an online book as well)
if you want to use it and get help, I think installing MSDN locally will do it.
I think you are talking about the API!? This should be included in the MSDN Library which you can download from here. However, the library is several GB...

WPF application is crashing after publish

I've upgraded WPF application to Visual Studio 2k8. App is .NET 3.0 which is set as a platform in the project.
If I build project & release confiuguration, app is running well.
If I try to publish it using ClickOnce, it is crashing because xaml resources couldn't be find.
Any idea?
Thank you very much.
P.S. It seem that XAML resources aren't really included in Resources in the assembly. If assemble is just rebuilded (without Publish) everything is ok and XAML are included in resources.
Have a look at the One Click Deployment options on your project.
On the Publish tab, have a look at the Application Files section.
Some files might not have been included.
It seems I solved this problem.
My application has been upgraded from V2k5 to V2k8.
If .NET 3.0 is target platform, the problem exists.
If .NET 3.5 is target platform, problem solved.
Thank you for your collaboration.

Where can I get free Vista style developer graphics?

What is the best source of free Vista style graphics for application development? I want 32x32 and 16x16 that I can use in a Winforms application.
If you're using Visual Studio Professional or above, you've got a zip file of icons in your VS path under Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary. Some of the images use the Vista style.
Best place I've found for commercial toolbar icons etc is glyfx.com.
The Tango project has some good icons
For areas that only need 16x16, the silk icons from famfamfam are good too
Both are Creative Commons licensed
