I am running Visual Studio 2010 and have installed the Silverlight 4 Toolkit, however on creating a Silverlight Application I don't seem to have the controls in my Toolkit?

Can someone please help me on this?

+1  A: 

They should install automatically to the ToolBox using the installer. Verify that you are using the latest version of the toolkit and not using the Silverlight 3 version.

Also verify that you actually have a xaml file open in the designer.

If it is still not working, you can add them manually by:

  1. Right-clicking on the ToolBox and select 'Choose items...'.
  2. A dialog appears and you need to go to the 'Silverlight Components' tab.
  3. Then click Browse.... Navigate to folder whwere the toolkit is installed eg, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v4.0\Toolkit\{release month year}\Bin.
  4. Select the DLL containing the controls you need.
  5. Check all controls you want.
  6. Repeat for all other controls.

@David then you are not installing it correctly. Download the MSI at: http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/43528 Run the MSI and all should be good. If not post what error you are getting on install.
