Consider I'm a newbie in WP7-Silverlight development, so please be patient if I'm asking something really stupid.
Yesterday I decided to start studying WP7, so on my
Windows Seven 64bit
Visual Studio 2010 Professional SP1
I installed all the required tools:
Windows Phone 7 SDK 7.1
Windows Phone 7 SDK 7.1.1 patch
Watching some Microsoft guide I saw ComboBox control that's now missing as you can read in
Drop Down List Windows Phone 7
Problem with Windows Phone ComboBox Style
So I downloaded Silverlight 5 Toolkit - December 2011 and installed it.
Curiously when I start a new WP7-Silverlight application I can't see ListPicker in my toolbox.
So I tried to manually load it in toolbox referencing C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Toolkit\dec11\Bin\System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit.dll, but I get an error stating it's missing some references.
It's something I'm doing wrong, I'm sure... but I really don't know what.
ListPicker exists in Windows Phone toolkit, you downloaded the wrong binaries from codeplex,

I have been googling for what feels like an age to find a direct download of the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 in order to get the WPF Performance Suite.
If I got to the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 download page, it only downloads a down-loader which doesn't work for me. As I need to put the installer onto a machine that is disconnected from the internet.
I also managed to find an ISO image, but again that doesn't work for me, again I have no DVD drive on this machine.

Someone posted a direct link asking a similar questions for Windows 8, I am just hoping someone else has one for x86.
Where can I download WPF Performance Suite for Windows 8
I saw this 1 week ago in a Microsoft blog post.
Download the WPT installer x86 x64 and select here the WPF Profiler:
Now you should apply this patch (select Reapir).
I've just started working on Windows Phone. Can anyone help me access my project database?
I've tried with ISETool.exe
I did this:
ISETool.exe ts xd 77a80316-355d-40dc-a8c3-c4054676e85c "C:\Users\user\Desktop\isostore"
but I'm getting an error in cmd:
The application is not installed
I've also tried using WP7 Isolated Storage Explorer from:
http://wp7explorer.codeplex.com/
But it doesnt see any devices or emulators.
It's Windows Phone 7 project. I've opened it in Visual Studio 2012 running on Windows 8.
It's frustrating loosing so much time on such a basic thing. Please help!
I've had success with Windows Phone Power Tools in the past. Even though the project is labeled "for WP8" it still works with 7.5 on Windows 8 with the WP8 SDK installed.
I had my project written in Silverlight 4. Recently I've reinstalled my system and installed Silverlight 5. But when I re-installed "everything" I got the problem with BusyIndicator. It does look like this control was removed from System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit and attempts to compile my project (targeted still to Silverlight 4) fails with error:
The type 'ToolkitControls:BusyIndicator' was not found.
The namespace is defined as follow:
xmlns:ToolkitControls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;
assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit"
I saw a lot of other topics on StackOverflow and see people use this control widely. That sounds like I don't have some toolbox installed or miss any assembly.
I do have the following components installed:
MS VS 2010 SP1
Tools for Visual Studio® 2010 SP1 ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28358)
Silverlight 5 Toolkit - December 2011 ( http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/78435)
Do I need something else?
Probably I need to add some reference to my project to have already installed toolboxes linked to my project?
Please advise, any help is very much appreciated!
P.S. Recently found similar problem and solution for WPF ( The type toolkit:BusyIndicator was not found). But in my case I don't know with which assembly to start... I've looked through the GAC and "Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight": can't find any assemblies in that looks like related to Silverlight control toolbox...
I just added the same Tools and Silverlight 5 ToolKit to my Visual Studio installation. I was able to find the BusyIndicator by going to the ToolBox right clicking and then selectin ChooseItems I found it there not enabled.
Namespace = System.Windows.Controls
Assembly Name = System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit
Directory = C:\Program files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Toolkit\dec11\Bin
Heh, the answer was easy though not really obvious:
I should install toolkit for the 4th Silverlight (http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/43528)! :)
I instaled nuget package and now working right.
PM> Install-Package SilverlightToolkit-All
In the following environment:
-VS2012
-Windows 7 64bit
-Microsoft Silverlight 5 SDK
I have created a few lightswitch applications in VS2012 but I am running into an error when attempting to create a new one or open an existing lightswitch project. I receive a pop-up that says "unable to find a version of silverlight developer runtime installed".
There is a link on the pop-up which starts a download but after downloading it, I still receive the same error.
I was able to fix the issue by doing the following :
I went into "Uninstall a program" and noticed that I had 4 different Silverlight related items installed.
Microsoft Silverlight
Microsoft Silverlight SDK3
Microsoft Silverlight SDK4
Microsoft Silverlight SDK5
I just uninstalled the first item, "Microsoft Silverlight" then reinstalled the appropriate (32 or 64 bit) Microsoft Silverlight SDK5 from the following link: http://www.silverlight.net/downloads .
Don't use the link that is given in VS 2012. Doesn't work.
I have a slight different solution for Visual Studio 2010. After uninstall the current Silverlight Runtime, I got it to work if I download it from Visual Studio suggested url.
The best way I have found to find the most current Silverlight 5 Developer Runtime or End-User Runtime, is to search the downloads for the latest Silverlight bits. All other suggestions seem to take you on a wild goose chase depending on what version of Visual Studio or OS you are using.
Search Microsoft Downloads
Just look for the latest "Security Update for Microsoft Silverlight" entry.
The Silverlight Security Update KB2890788 is what fixed it for me, after trying uninstall and re-install without success.
I have VS2010 and Expression studio 4 on my machine. I have done a fair amount of programming on Silverlight. What do I need to get started with development on Windows phone 7. I googled and found out that I need to install VS2010 express for WP7 beta. Can't I just use my existing VS2010 installation with some additional templates and an WP7 emulator? And Is it possible to use blend? Is there anything else required to set up dev environment for wp7
Thanks.
You can download and install the Windows Phone Developer Tools Beta and you are ready to go.
Even if you have VS2010 Pro or higher version installed, you still need to install WP Developer Tools .. This will install the templates for WP development in VS 2010 Pro/ultimate for development of WP7 apps. Also Expression Blend for Windows Phone is different from Expression Studio
