Hi,
I might be missing very basic here. I have installed NetAdvantage 2011.2 - WPF and don;t see a way to create toolbax for visual studio 2010. Only way i can think about is to add each control manually which is pain.
Is there quicker way to add toolbox like we do have with win forms?
Regards,
Hello Yasir,
A toolbox group should be automatically created by the installation. That's why there is no "toolbox utility" available in the start menu, like in Windows Forms.
1. Open a WPF application, or create a new one.2. Click between the <Grid></Grid> tags in the XAML.3. Check the toolbox for NetAdvantage controls.
If no NetAdvantage controls appear in the toolbox, then please try the following steps:
1. Close Visual Studio.2. Reinstall the product.3. Open Visual Studio.4. Open a WPF application, or create a new one.5. Click between the <Grid></Grid> tags in the XAML.6. Check the toolbox for NetAdvantage controls.
There should be two groups: "NetAdvantage 11.2 WPF CLR4.0", and "NetAdvantage 112. Shared XAML".
Please let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Elizabeth,
I did try all above steps including re installation but still no luck. All i can see is standard visual studio toolbox.
Hello,
While I was doing some unrelated testing today I was able to reproduce the issue where the WPF LOB controls do not appear in the toolbox.
Next I tried to figure out the exact steps by starting over. I did the following steps:1. Install WPF DV.2. Create a new WPF application and use a control like xamDataChart from the toolbox. Close VS.3. Install WPF LOB.4. Create a new WPF application and check the toolbox.
However, the controls appeared in the toolbox after that!
In order to get it fixed, I would need to give steps so that the release engineers can see this happen as well. For the basic issue of the controls not appearing in the toolbox, could anyone on this post offer a set of steps that will show this issue consistently? Include information like which installers are used (.msi or Platform Installer, trial or licensed), OS, previous installed versions, and anything else you think might be affecting it.
To answer a question from another post, there are currently no plans to make a Windows Forms-like utility because this functionality should work. If we can get steps to reproduce the issue consistently, I can log a bug and it should be fixed for a service release.
The issue still exists. Once i close the visual studio and open again. the manually created toolbox is gone.
Any idea if Infragistics is planning to add utility like winform in next service release?

FYI - When I unistalled the 2011.2 Product (all of it) but maybe just the WPF piece would if done this as well.... All my visual studio tool box entries for previous infragistics install when back to being ok.
They listed the full control suite no problem and no duplications... I did not reinstall those releases I just unistalled the 2011.2 product. Strange. I would really like to install the 2011.2 stuff ... I know I can manually bring in the controls myself... but what else may be messed up... Any idea of when this isntall is going to be fixed?
p.s. Also the the error with ASP.NET and having to disable the IIS6 Compatability piece to get the ASP.NET to install (this problem is listed in other posts.)
Yes this worked for me as well. For some reason the install is not doing what you say. Also as a note... I have two previous versions of the WPF installed and it messed up those control tabs as well.
That is prior to installing 2011.2 the 2011.1 and 2010.3 WPF tabs in VS were fine. After the install they looked not so good... most of the controls were missing and it seemed like there were many duplicates...
