Question

Hi every one at stackoverflow, I’ve just recently downloaded the latest file for silverlight floatable windows and I’m not sure how to install it into visual studio 2010 (I’m a “newbie”).
The project I’m undertaking at present is in silverlight 5 (vb). Is there anyone out there that can walk me through the process for installation.

Kind regards

Will.

This answer was kindly given to me from Johnson – MSFT at the Silverlight Forum.

In windows Explorer, browse to the floating windows folder, right click the dll file, select properties and under the general tab select the allow button.

In visual studio open your Silverlight application project and select the project menu, select your application properties from the drop down menu, go to the reference tab, click the add button and then browse to the floating windows dll file and click ok.
