I'm trying to use the System.Windows.Controls namespace, but when I
try to add a reference to it I don't see it in the list. I see a
System.Windows.Forms, but not a System.Windows.Controls.

Can someone let me know how I go about getting it in the list of
available references?


Thanks

Jody

I'm kind of new at this stuff, so i hope i'm giving you the info you
requested. I have .NET 3.5 Installed. I installed a Windows SDK, but
i'm not sure if this is the SDK you are refering to.

I hope this isn't getting double posted (I thought i posted once, but
it didn't seem to show up).
I have .NET 3.5 installed, the only SDK's that I know that I have
installed are DirectX and Windows.
Is there a different SDK that I need?

Thanks,

Jody

I have .NET 3.5 installed. Which SDK do I need?

Thanks,

ok, i've done some more research based upon the questions you asked.
MSDN is telling me that I need Microsoft .NET Framework and the
Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) installed. I believe that I
have both installed.

So how do I gain access to the WPF, in particular the
System.Windows.Controls namespace within Vistual Studio 2005?

Thanks,

Jody

So I have .NET 3.5 installed. I also have the version of Windows SDK
that you linked installed.
So now that I have the .NET and Windows SDK installed, how do I make
Visual Studio 2005 aware of them? I still can't seem to get the
System.Windows.Controls namespace to appear when I try to add a
reference.

Thanks,

Jody

If you've got .NET 3.5 installed, that should be fine. Chances are you
just don't have the right project references. When you created the
project, what kind of project did you choose?

Apologies - I had assumed that if you'd installed .NET 3.5, you'd also
got Visual Studio 2008.

Is there any reason why you have to use VS 2005? It's all going to be
*much* easier with 2008...

Ya, i'm trying to use the XNA stuff from microsoft, and XNA 2.0
doesn't support 2008; So that is why i've been trying to figure it out
for 2005

Thanks,

So when I create a project, I create a windows game 2.0 project using
XNA 2.0 in Visual Studio 2005.
I'm trying to learn how to create buttons and other controls within
the game application. One reference book that I have wants me to
create a "canvas" on which to draw my controls; but I noticed a
reference to a Canvas on MSDN that is contained within
System.Windows.Controls; So I thought I would see if it was possible
for me to use the Canvas in that Namespace, rather than create my own.

So i rightclick on the project references and go to add a reference.
It brings up a list of .net references, but they are all 2.0
references and so the namespace I want isn't there. How do I make
visual Studio 2005 look for .net 3.0 or 3.5 references?

thanks,

Jody
