WPFToolkit.Extended - where are the tools?

Question

Steps I've taken:

1. I'm using .NET 4.0
2. I've got to codeplex and downloaded the first "Extended WPF Toolkit Binaries".
3. Number 2 added this file "ExtendedWPFToolkit_Binaries.zip" to here: C:\Users\myName\Downloads\
4. I then extracted the .dll file and put it here: C:\downloads\WPFToolkit.Extended.dll
5. In the WPF project I Browsed (i.e to the dll in step 4) for an extra reference and it now has an extra ref to "WPFToolkit.Extended
6. In the MainWindow.xaml.cs file I've added this"using Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit;"
7. In the App.xaml file I've added this "xmlns:xctk="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/toolkit"

Is step 7 ok?

What else do I need to do to see the tools in the Toolbox?

Answer 1

Go to the toolbox tab (ctrl+alt+x), right click on it and "Add Tab", type the name you want for it (ex: "WPF Extended Toolkit").

Then right click again on it and "Choose Items..". Browse to find the dll you just downloaded and click OK

And.. that's it.

Use Nuget for the Extended WPF Toolkit -- https://www.nuget.org/packages/Extended.Wpf.Toolkit
