Alan,

>I accidentally drop this control onto my form, how do I delete that ?

It's a bit tricky to delete a ToolStripContainer, that's for sure. This is
because clicking it normally will not select the whole control but instead
just a part of it.

Here's what you can do, assuming your ToolStripContainer is empty:

1. Right-click the blue area, point to Select and then to the name of your
control (ToolStripContainer1). Then press Delete.

2. Click the blue area, and then click the small "collapse arrow" that
points upward (it requires patience to point your mouse at the correct
location). This will select the control, so just delete normally afterwards.

Finally, you could navigate to your form's designer managed code file and
delete the code that creates the control. However, this is usually not the
recommended approach.
