WPF Ribbon Application Template for Visual Studio 2011

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?

Solution

  • 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.)
