How to use Xander Framework for window forms in c#

I am trying to use xander UI but I can not perform any action.
If I use metroUI then we write in code
class Form1: Metroframework.MetroForms.Forms
in place of class Form1:Forms
Then what can we do for Xander UI?

You can try the following steps to use XanderUI. It may be different from the metroUI.
First, you can download XanderUI.dll from the XanderUI. At the end of the article, you can download the dll.
Second, please create a winform app and add a tab in the toolbox.
Third, please right click the toolbox and select choose Items.
Fourth, choose the download the dll in the choose toolbox item window.
Fifth, you can see the control in the toolbox.
Finally, you can drag XUIObjectEllipse control first and then drag the XUIFromDesign control.
The following the final result:

Visual Studio extensibility

Based on our project we created several item and project templates which after installation using our installer works perfectly. this was really good step as it avoids spending time on setting up new projects or modules inside our enterprise application. Now we want to move forward and create something similar to the context menu inside visual studio when u click Views or Controls folder inside ASP.NET MVC application and in other types of projects as well (for example when u click your right mouse button on your WPF application, under Add menu u get different items which avoids opening new window where u have to search for item time.
My goal is to create add in or whatever it is called to make it even easier to work with our SDK so for example when developer right-clicks on project we want to have our own menu items under New menu so developers will be able to add OURPROGRAM View, OURPROGRAM view with validation. can anyone assist me with this? or how provide good examples of this?

Look for the Visual Studio SDK documentation on MSDN.
There is an open source Iron Python project which is your best resource.

Also on MSDN there is a walkthru for creating a basic project system.

Create own toolbox element in VS 2012 .Net-Framework 4 (c#)

is there any possibility to create your own button as toolbox element (for other projects) in Visual Studio 2012 (version 11.0.50727.1)?
I just need a button (like the button from iTunes) for another project. (Tutorials are also welcome).
WPF

Since this ended up being Wpf, I believe the easist way to go would be to create a WpfControlLibrary that is used for UserControls that way it would be easier for you to customize the look and feel of your Button. It can also be added to your ToolBox by right clicking on your ToolBox and Selecting Choose Items then Select WpfComponents and Browse to your Dll.

What is the difference between a User Control Library and a Custom Control Library?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.usercontrol.aspx

You will need to create a custom control for your button and compile it into a separate dll. Then add this control from this dll to the toolbox.
See for example here: http://dhavalupadhyaya.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/how-to-add-custom-control-in-visual-studio-toolbox/

I'm assuming you are talking about a WPF button. If it's for one extra project, you are perhaps best off creating a button style in a seperate XAML resource file and reusing that file in the second project. If you need to create a reusable control to the extent that you need a button for it in the VS toolbox, then see here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee712573.aspx

creating Web User Control and adding it to tool box

I'm trying to learn how create a web user control so i can use in diffrent projects. I created a simple control just to see how it worked; after I created it, I could add it to any page on the current project and it worked fine.
My problem is how can I add this control to the tool box so I can use it in diffrent projects? I tried to look for him by doing:
right click toolbox > choose items > looking for it.
I can't see the control in the list.
What do i need to add so i can see it?
Here is the same question but nothing help me :( I'm using visual studio 2010.

Hey you have to create CustomControl instead of User Control

WinForms: How can I include a usercontrol form an external library?

I have a class in an external library subclassing UserControl and set to public. Now I want to use this usercontrol in my main WinForms app. I have added this external library to the references of the main app, but the user control haven't appeard in the Toolbox - I have been told it should appear.
I am doing this for the first time. So, sorry if my question is too trivial.

Right click on the title panel, in the Toolbox, where you want the control.
Select Choose Items...
Click the Browse... button on the .NET Framework Components tab in the dialog that pops up (might take a few seconds for it to show)
Navigate to the external library, select the file and click Open.
All public controls from that library are now available for selection.

You can right click on your toolbox and add it from the context menu...

You can add items to the toolbox by right-clicking on it, "Choose Items...". Then go and get a coffee - it takes ages to load. Locate your dll.
Note that adding an item from the toolbox will automatically add the reference to the project.

Look under Tools->Options, navigate to Windows Forms Designer->General, and make sure "AutoToolboxPopulate" is set to true.
That's for VS 2008, but it should be in a similar place on earlier versions.
Note: I believe this may only work for your own projects. If it's referencing a compiled DLL, it may not get the controls from the DLL.
