Can't find what assembly contains BusyIndicator

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14108108

Question

I had my project written in Silverlight 4. Recently I've reinstalled my system and installed Silverlight 5. But when I re-installed "everything" I got the problem with BusyIndicator. It does look like this control was removed from System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit and attempts to compile my project (targeted still to Silverlight 4) fails with error:

The type 'ToolkitControls:BusyIndicator' was not found.

The namespace is defined as follow:

xmlns:ToolkitControls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;
      assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit"

I saw a lot of other topics on StackOverflow and see people use this control widely. That sounds like I don't have some toolbox installed or miss any assembly.

I do have the following components installed:

Do I need something else?

Probably I need to add some reference to my project to have already installed toolboxes linked to my project?

Please advise, any help is very much appreciated!

P.S. Recently found similar problem and solution for WPF ( The type toolkit:BusyIndicator was not found). But in my case I don't know with which assembly to start... I've looked through the GAC and "Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight": can't find any assemblies in that looks like related to Silverlight control toolbox...

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

Heh, the answer was easy though not really obvious:

I should install toolkit for the 4th Silverlight (http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/43528)! :)

OTHER TIPS

I just added the same Tools and Silverlight 5 ToolKit to my Visual Studio installation. I was able to find the BusyIndicator by going to the ToolBox right clicking and then selectin ChooseItems I found it there not enabled.

Namespace = System.Windows.Controls
Assembly Name = System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit
Directory = C:\Program files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Toolkit\dec11\Bin

enter image description here

I instaled nuget package and now working right.
