Where can I find System.Windows.Controls.dll and System.Windows.Controls.Data.dll

Question

I'm using WPF, VS2010 and VS2008

Are these libraries available with Silverlight only? Is PresentationFramework.dll == System.Windows.Controls.dll?

Answer 1

I suppose you're looking for the System.Windows.Controls namespace (not the .dll). The namespace you refer to is indeed in PresentationFramework.dll that is part of the Windows SDK from Microsoft (afaik not a standard part of the .Net framework).

System.Windows.Controls.Data is in the System.Windows.Controls.Data.dll assembly file.

The System.Windows.Controls.Data namespace is part of Silverlight, which most recent sourcefiles you can download at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=D09B6ECF-9A45-4D99-B752-2A330A937BC4&displaylang=en

Both assemblies reside on my pc in "Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0"

Edit: wrong Silverlight download link. Corrected :)

It is possible that the Controls.Data dll is not in the recent SilverLight SDK, so if nothing else helps you can find it in an separate download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=084A1BB2-0078-4009-94EE-E659C6409DB0&displaylang=en
