- Open vs 2008 with any silverlight project.

- Open .xaml file(e.g page.xaml)

- Open Tool Box window(where button, textbox, textblock appears)

- Right click on Genral and select "Chose Items"

- A dialog box will appear, open '.Net framework components' tab (which by default open)

- Click on Brows button and select Microsoft.Windows.Controls.dll, Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Theming.dll and Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Input.dll.

- Click OK on the dialog, and you will see tool kit contorls in ur tool box.

now you can just drag and drop these controls to use..

Hope this will help.

Hi,

The Silverlight Toolkit does not require installation right now.

Please take the time to read more about the Silverlight Toolkit @ http://codeplex.com/Silverlight.
Once you decided you need any of the controls, charts or themes offered as part of the toolkit, just add the DLLs in our download as part of your silverlight project.

Sincerely,

I have read this post and it will be useful later but where should the toolkit Microsoft.Windows.Controls.*.dlls be placed or installed.

All other programs were using an installer with a default installation location.

Am I missing a basic concept?

Newbie - How to install toolkit once downloaded

I downloaded the toolkit and have the zip files with the dlls.

How do I install the .dlls so that I can use the new parts?

I currently have VS 2008, Silverlight tools and MS Expression trial installed now.

Please excuse my ignorance.
