Visual Studio 2010: why all the foreign language folders?

Question

In the /bin/debug folder of my solution I\'ve noticed a slew of what appear to be foreign language folders with names like \"ar\", \"bg\", \"ca\", \"cs\", \

Answer 1

I have the exact same problem and I've managed to narrow it down. The problem lies with these two references:

1. System.Windows.Control
2. System.Windows.Control.Toolkit (Silverlight Toolkit 5)

By removing these two references, I've managed to remove the unnecessary foreign language DLLs.

If you cant afford to remove those 2 references or any other references, you can delete the foreign language dlls from silverlight installation directory eg. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Libraries\Client
