Hi,
I am just wondering whether anyone knows where I can get a compiled version of Windows Ribbon for WinForms 2.2? I can only download the source from the website and as I don't have the Windows 7 SDK (and can't download) I can't compile it.
A:
Even if you could download the DLL (you can't), it is not going to help you. To create your own ribbon for use in your own application you must create a ribbon markup file. That file needs to be compiled by UICC.EXE, a tool that is only available in the Windows 7 SDK. Without that tool, you cannot create your own ribbon.
Downloading the SDK is required. Note that the SDK version that comes with VS2010 is not good enough, it is a sub-set of the SDK and does not include uicc.exe
