Adding the WPF Edition Components
To add a reference to the assembly
- In order to use a WPF Edition component in the Design workspace of Blend, you must first add a reference to the WPF assembly for that component and then add the component from Blend's Asset Library.
Select Project | Add Reference - Browse to find the C1.WPF assembly installed with WPF Edition that you wish to add (for example, C1.WPF.DataGrid.dll).
type=note
To know about installation directories, refer to WPF Edition Setup Files.
- Select the C1.WPF DLL file (for example, C1.WPF.DataGrid.dll), and click Open. A reference is added to your project.
To add a component from the Asset Library
- Once you have added a reference to the required C1.WPF assembly, click the Asset Library button (it appears like a sideways chevron) in the Blend Toolbox. The Asset Library appears.
- Click the Controls drop-down arrow and select All.
- Select the control. It will appear in the Toolbox below the Asset Library button.
- Double-click the component in the Toolbox to add it to the window.
