How do I use the additional Silverlight Toolkit controls?


I've got VS2010 installed, I've downloaded the Windows Phone add-in and the Silverlight Toolkit from CodePlex, but I cannot work out for the life of me how to actually use the controls in a Windows Phone 7 application...

How do I add the controls into the toolbox, or link them so that the XAML doesn't give me errors all the time? For instance, using the Viewbox - the controls aren't implemented, and the XAML does not compile.


Solution

  • You're probably running into this bug:

    The Silverlight toolkit wasn't working for me after the April Update.
