Hi all.

How do I get my custom controls to automatically show up in the Toolbox when
my assembly is referenced?

Thanks.

Dennis,

In VS.NET 2003, I don't think this is possible, I believe that you have
to manually go and add it to the toolbox in order to have it pop up there.

In VS.NET 2005, the toolbox is much better, creating different
categories for the referenced assemblies which contain controls/components,
as well as controls/components in the current projects in the solution.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

I have 2003 and have been manually inserting the controls. I was just
wondering if maybe I wasn't performing a step to provide the controls to my
developers/users.
