I have Installed the Silverlight 5 SDK and I am Trying to Add silverlight Busy Indicator Control to my ToolBox.But I cant Find it in Choose Items ToolBox Window
How Can I Add silverlight Busy Indicator Control to my ToolBox
BusyIndicator exist in the System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit assembly. You must download and install Silverlight 5 Toolkit. After that BusyIndicator must be appeared in ToolBox Window.
Also you can get source codes of Toolkit components.
Silverlight 5 Toolkit download link
Here is the direct link to source code
The Busy Indicator is in the Silverlight Toolkit, not the default Silverlight 5 SDK.
If you download, install, and reference that in your project, you will be able to access System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit.BusyIndicator.
Download Silverlight 5 Toolkit here.

I get the following error compiling my new universal app for Windows Phone and Desktop version 8.1:
The SDK "MSAdvertisingXaml, Version=8.1" cannot be referenced alongside SDK(s) "MSAdvertisingXaml, Version=6.1", as they all belong to the same SDK product Family "Microsoft.Advertising". Please consider removing references to other SDKs of the same product family.
They both use the same tool, AdControl, and it was running phone while I built the Windows Phone side of the app. Once I dropped the same control into the Windows Desktop side of the app, I get this error. I can't get ANYTHING to return when I Google the error message. What is the problem???
In the top portion of the list within your "Solution Explorer" control (of MS Visual Studio - my version is 2013), look for a "References" section. Simply delete the 6.1 item, as you want the latest version of the AdControl, which should work with both sides of your universal app.
i am currently developing a Windows 8.1 app, trying to use live tiles.
The problem is, that the tile isn't showing up within the Windows Start Page. How do i let the tile appear? Are there any options in Visual Studio 2013?
Thanks!
In Windows 8.1, tiles aren't automatically pinned to Start for newly installed store apps like they were in Windows 8 - this is as true when Visual Studio is installing the in-development build as it is when users install it from the store.
You need to pin the tile to the start screen yourself. You can do that by either searching for the app's name or going to the "All Apps" view of the start menu and finding it there.
When I try to upgrade my current WP7 project to a WP8 version using VS2012 built-in feature "Upgrade to Windows Phone 8.0"
I received an error message:
Upgrade to the project could not be completed.
Object reference not set to an instance object.
This error has little useful information to work with, how to solve it?
If you want run app in WP 8 devices, perhaps you'll have a problem with the screen resolution on devices HTC. The best way is create new WP 8 project and share (add as link) most of the .cs and .xaml files of your WP7 project. I did it guided by the article http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Maintaining_a_WP7_and_WP8_version_of_a_same_Silverlight_application
Good luck!
I have my shiny new Visual Studio 2010. I want to develop a Silverlight 4 web app with it.
I made a project and it told me that I needed to update my Developer version of Silverlight. I followed the link provided and did what it suggested.
I then went back and created my project (under a different directory).
But when I try to select the target version of Silverlight all I can see is Silverlight 3.
What do I need to do to get this to show the Silverlight 4 option?
Make sure you've installed the Silverlight 4 Tools to enable this all in VS 2010.
I've got VS2010 installed, I've downloaded the Windows Phone add-in and the Silverlight Toolkit from CodePlex, but I cannot work out for the life of me how to actually use the controls in a Windows Phone 7 application...
How do I add the controls into the toolbox, or link them so that the XAML doesn't give me errors all the time? For instance, using the Viewbox - the controls aren't implemented, and the XAML does not compile.
You're probably running into this bug:

The Silverlight toolkit wasn't working for me after the April Update.
Did you add a reference to the Silverlight Toolkit assembly in your project?
By the way, Jeff Wilcox has a comprehensive overview of the Silverlight Toolkit controls that work on Windows Phone.
