Create Project

Progress Telerik UI for WPF Extension allows you to quickly create an application pre-configured to use Telerik UI for WPF.

The fastest way to have such a project is by using the Progress Telerik UI for WPF Extension menu. The following steps show how create a new project with Telerik dlls referenced.

1. Find the Telerik extensions menu in Visual Studio.

2. Click on the Create New Telerik Project option and configure the project's name and location.

   

3. Select the project options, like target framework, reference type, theme mechanism, etc., and click Next. This step is available only with the project template for .NET 6 and later.

   

4. In the Create New Project Wizard select the project template you want to use. The wizard allows you to define a blank project with only the Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll referenced, or to use one of the Office-inspired templates (Calendar, Word-Inspired, etc.).

You can also start the Telerik's Create New Project Wizard (see step 2) from the Visual Studio's New Project Wizard.

The Create New Project Wizard allows you to download a Telerik version that is not available on your machine.

If you prefer the Telerik assemblies to be copied into your solution folder, the Copy referenced assemblies to solution and source control option could be selected only into the Visual Studio Extensions Options.
