How to add WPF Control Library Template to Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition

Taken from dotUpdate

Visual C# Express 2008 does not come with a project template for creating custom controls (.dll files). You can create your own template by following these steps:

1. Open Visual C# Express 2008.
2. Create New WPF Application with name: MyLibrary
3. Project > Add User Control
4. In Solution Explorer, Delete Window1.xaml and App.xaml (the corresponding .cs files should be deleted by this step)
5. Project > MyLibrary Properties > Application > Output Type = Class Library
6. Build Solution. There should be no errors and the bin/Release folder should have a MyLibrary.dll file
7. File > Export Template
8. Select Project Template then Next
9. Under Template Options change name to: WPF Control Library and Description: Create WPF Control .dll

The next time you open VS, you will find your newly created template ready to use.
