To use Silverlight Elements in your project, drag a control from the toolbox onto the visual design surface, or add a reference to the Mindscape.SilverlightElements assembly using the Add Reference command. You can find the assembly in your Program Files directory under Mindscape > Silverlight Elements.

You may wish to copy Silverlight Elements to a project-specific directory (such as a Libraries or Lib directory), and reference it at this location, so that you can version it on a per-project basis.

If you are writing XAML by hand, use the following XML namespace declaration to refer to Silverlight Elements:
