Windowscommunitytoolkit: Add automatic toolbox integration into Visual Studio

[dotMorten]

The Controls nuget package needs the tools\VisualStudioToolsManifest.xml file with the following contents:

<FileList>
  <File Reference="Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls.dll">
    <ToolboxItems VSCategory="UWP Community Toolkit" BlendCategory="UWP Community Toolkit">

    </ToolboxItems>
  </File>
</FileList>

(Note: We should probably exclude the deprecated controls #1465)

Will it work for non-UWP projects?

[nmetulev]

All controls are built for UWP, they wouldn't work in other type of projects.

[MikhailTymchukDX]

I mean will this approach work for other types of project? For example, if I create an package with ASP.NET controls inside.

[nmetulev]

Ah, good question. I believe it would but don't know for sure. @dotMorten might know

[dotMorten]

It works for WPF, so it might work for ASP.NET. @diverdan92 might be able to confirm, (or you could just try it out :)

[diverdan92]

No, it will only work for XAML controls shipped in NuGet packages (UWP + WPF).

...this is where you add "...but we're working on it" :-)
