Because the Ribbon control is now included in VS 2011 now, I think I don't need to install that seperately, just need to add a reference to that DLL.
However, there is no WPF Ribbon Application Template for Visual Studio 2011, therefore Net 4.5 Framework.
What should I do to get it? Install the Microsoft Ribbon for WPF October 2010 seperately?
Use the normal WPF application template. In the MainWindows.aspx replace the root <Window> with <RibbonWindow> and add, as the first child (or first child of the root layout control) a <Ribbon>.
(You could then use the project to create a user template in the normal manner.)
The ribbon control is now integrated into the .net 4.5 framework, see reference on msdn and here

In older versions of blend, there have been a resources tab, like this:
Resources Window. In Blend for VS 2022 it's missing.
It does not help adding a custom command to show it, derscribed here for VS 2019.
So the functionality to make it easier to apply styles using the interface and just drag&dropping styles is dropped.
How do I create a WPF UserControl using .Net Core 3.1 in Visual Studio 2019?
I looked through the default templates available in "Add .. New .. Dialog," but I don't seem to see it.
Am I missing something?
Do I need to add it from a the command line?
I've got the DevExpress WPF/.Net Core packages installed and can add a DevExpress flavoured UserControl.
I'm able to create/add one of those from the installed templates.
How do I do so in vanilla .NetCore/WPF
Thanks,JohhB
Same as WinForms...compile your code, open Toolbox, drag it from there onto either your designer page or into the XAML code directly.
This is really a wanted feature, AutoCompleteBox (not AutoCompleteComboBox apparently).
However, visual studio 2012 cannot find the AutoCompleteBox control. But I have not tried in earlier version of vs, so it may not be a version matter.
I installed wpf toolkit, added those extensions to my WPF project:
WPF Toolkit
WPF Toolkit Design
WPF Toolkit Input Design
WPF Toolkit Input Visual Studio Design
WPF Toolkit Layout
WPF Toolkit Layout Visual Studio Design
WPF Toolkit Visual Studio Design.
Looks almost like virii to me. Every permutation of words are used...
Well well in my WPF project, I added
xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit"
to a window and tried to also add a auto complete box like this:
<toolkit:AutoCompleteBox />
but AutoCompleteBox does not seem to exist, the first component that is listed when I have typed
<toolkit:
is ButtonBaseBehavior.
Not all the toolkit controls are included in the "main" namepace.
Let me explain it how are the toolkit dlls are built up:
You can also install the WPF toolkit through NuGet:
PM> Install-Package WPFToolkit
It will add three dlls to your project:
WPFToolkit.dll this contains the core/stable controls of toolkit which can be found in the xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit"
System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit.dll this dll contains the preview controls like AutoCompleteBox and Rating
System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit.dll this dll contains the preview layout controls like the Accordion
The preview controlls are not included in the main xmls namespace so you need to use a the namespace form the corresponding preview dll:
xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit"
<controls:AutoCompleteBox />
Add a reference to (Included in WPFToolkit):
System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit.dll
and then in your xaml at the top:
xmlns:System_Windows_Controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit"
and for using it anywhere in your code just like this:
<System_Windows_Controls:AutoCompleteBox />
I installed the wpftoolkit.msi and added a reference to it, but it doesn't get dipslayed in the toolbox, is there anything else that needs to be done? I followed the instructions from the code plex site, I can access some of the controls from code, only a few, I added WPFToolkit as a reference, does any other reference need to be added for the chart controls and so that they can be accessed from the toolbox?
EDIT: I added all dlls in the folder and still cannot access the chart control.
Answer: I provided an answer bellow you neeed to include a different namespace for the charts the default one from the codeplex site doesn't include all controls.
I believe this is the answer if you want to add the charting controls to your toolbox.
If you just add a reference to what the codeplex site says you won't get all controls.
using Microsoft.Windows.Controls doesn't work you need to include the reference name, if you click on properties for the reference name you can copy name, for charting it is: System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit
For the toolbox:
Go to your toolbox, right click create a new tab. In the new tab right click choose items add all the controls from the System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit namespace. You should have all of them in the toolbox.
Here it is http://wpf.codeplex.com/releases/view/40535
Installation and Usage Instructions
Please note: The WPF Toolkit is dependent on .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. You must install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 in order to use any features in the Toolkit.
Instructions for using the WPF Toolkit binaries:
Install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
If you have a previous version of WPF Toolkit installed, uninstall it through the Remove Programs dialog on the Control Panel (look for "WPF Toolkit October 2008" or "WPF Toolkit January 2009" or "WPF Toolkit March 2009" or "WPF Toolkit June 2009")
Download the WPFToolkit_Binaries or WPFToolkit_BinariesAndSource
Run the WPFToolkit.msi to install the WPFToolkit.dll and WPF Toolkit design time binaries to your Program Files folder
Reference the binaries in your project:
Reference WPFToolkit.dll in your project
Add a using statement ("using Microsoft.Windows.Controls;") to the top of .cs files
Add a new xmlns (for example, xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit") to the top of XAML files
Remember to use the namespace prefix (in the above example, ) in the body of your XAML
I'm able to add WinForms controls programmatically but not with Silverlight Controls. How to add a Silverlight Control to the Visual Studio 2008 & 2010 Toolbox? I have read/tried almost suggested tools and solutions available on stackoverflow.com but no articles mention about Silverlight Control.
Just referencing the assembly (DLL) that defines the Silverlight control you want will make it appear in the toolbox.
Right-click your project and select Add references... then select the assembly.
