    :) Hi All, Am new to usage of WPF.Installed latest WPF toolkit and tried to make a window in Visual Studio 2008. I am not able to drag and drop other WPF controls after the first drag and drop. Explaining further, for ex. I have dropped a Label control onto window1.xaml and have configured it accordingly. Next, I want another label or textbox or even grid on the window.But to my surprise,I was not able to drag and drop any other control.On one of the Microsoft forums, they told to delete the .tbd files from the AppData directory and reset the toolbox.Did all these stuffs but no success as of yet. Please assist.

      Go to the Visual Studio command prompt and try to reset the environment by using devenv /resetsettings. You will however loose all VS settings that you may have created as customized settings.
