Where is the Microsoft.Windows.Controls.dll in the Nov 2009 Silverlight Toolkit?

Question

I want to use WrapPanel in Silverlight 3.

It is apparently in the Silverlight Toolkit.

All the information I can find on it say to download the toolkit, unzip the download, look in the folder binaries and you will find Microsoft.Windows.Controls.dll.

This works for December 2008 version of the Silverlight toolkit just fine, since it is a zip file.

But I would like the newest version.

However, the November 2009 version of the Silverlight toolkit is an .msi file which installs but doesn't tell me where Microsoft.Windows.Controls.dll is.

Nor is it in the Add Service | .NET tab.

How can I get the Microsoft.Windows.Controls.dll from the November 2009 Silverlight Toolkit install so I can use WrapPanel in Silverlight 3?

Answer 1

The controls in the silverlight toolkit use to be in the microsoft.windows.controls.dll. The March 2009 version of the toolkit moved the controls to system.windows.controls.dll

Answer 2

Microsoft.Windows.Controls had been changed to System.Windows.Controls

Answer 3

When I installed it I didn't change any defaults and it's installed to:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v3.0\Toolkit\Nov09\Bin

But I can't see a Microsoft.Windows.Controls.dll in that folder.

As far I as can ascertain you want System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit.dll

Answer 4

The DLLs for the toolkit are located at:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v3.0\Toolkit\Nov09\Bin

(though, as someone else mentioned, that particular DLL isn't available)

They should also be available if you Add a Reference as well. Just look under the .Net tab (when you have a Silverlight Project open).
