How to include DashboardDesigner in a WPF application using the WindowsFormsHost control

The Dashboard Suite does not provide WPF controls. The only way to display dashboards in a WPF application is to use the standard WindowsFormsHost element, which allows displaying any Windows Forms control inside a WPF application. 
In this case, you can generate a Ribbon Bar, which is used to configure dashboards using the DashboardDesigner control by executing the CreateRibbon method. Note that while Ribbon mostly works correctly, there can be some issues with certain features caused by the platforms difference: e.g. Ribbon in RibbonForm not responding to keyboard shortcuts.
