I have a licensed version of Visual studo 2010 on a Windows 7 machine and want to make an ordinary stand alone windows application with the "ribbon window" look and feel in C#.
But I seems not to be able to create a new project "WPF window ribbon style", there is no such option (ribbon style) when I am about to create a new project nor does all those different downloads I have done from msn helped. (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11877)
There is no "ribbon stuff" among the "All WPF Controls" either.
Is it wrong to assume that the "ribbon style" should appear as an option when you create a new project, is it something I have to manually add in the xaml file for the main window or is there a magic download link that fix everything which I have not discovered ?
I even tried to download "Visual studio 2010 proffesional trial version on another computer but that one did not contain the ribbon thing either.
I have tried to download the "SimpleRibbon" project but Visual studio wants to "convert" it and then when I try to compile it, it says "error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" exited with code 9009".
Have a look at the WPF Toolkit. The ribbon control is included in there: http://wpf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=WPF%20Ribbon%20Preview&ProjectName=wpf. Also: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11877.
