Getting Started with {{ site.framework_name }} Badge

This tutorial will walk you through the creation of a sample application that contains a RadBadge control.

Adding Telerik Assemblies Using NuGet

To use RadBadge when working with NuGet packages, install the Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.Xaml package. The [package name may vary]({%slug nuget-available-packages%}) slightly based on the Telerik dlls set - [Xaml or NoXaml]({%slug xaml-vs-noxaml%})

Read more about NuGet installation in the [Installing UI for WPF from NuGet Package]({%slug nuget-installation%}) article.

tip With the 2025 Q1 release, the Telerik UI for WPF has a new licensing mechanism. You can learn more about it [here]({%slug installing-license-key%}).

Adding Assembly References Manually

If you are not using NuGet packages, you can add a reference to the following assemblies:

• Telerik.Licensing.Runtime
• Telerik.Windows.Controls

Defining the RadBadge

[C#] Defining RadBage in XAML
