I have googled so much but couldn't find any solution so i have decided to put my question over here....so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I download the Silverlight toolkit from here: http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/78435 [Silverlight_5_Toolkit_December_2011.msi]. after I have installed it

  1. I found "Microsoft Silverlight 5 Toolkit December 2011" in my windows7 ultimates "ALL PROGRAMS" list. but when I clicked on "Toolkit Samples" it shows me "Missing Shortcut" window.

  2. and when I unzip the "Sample source code" and Open the solution "Silverlight.Controls.Samples.sln" it loads two projects in my "Solution Explorer"

    (i) Controls.Samples and (ii) Controls.samples.Common

  3. I have found that when I click on "References" node many referances are missing. for example: (i) System.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm.Toolkit
    (ii) System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.toolkit etc.....

  4. I couldn't understand where to find the DLL(s) which could help to get rid of the missing references issue.

NOTE: I have checked both folder named "Binaries" in "Sample source code.zip" and "source code.zip" for Required DLLs...but it didn't help me....
