Hi, I used to AxImp.exe to generate the wrappers for an ActiveX control.
Now how do I import the wrapper into my project? I tried "Add
Reference..." and browsed to the .dlls but I still don't see it in my
Toolbox.

Thanks

Try dragging and dropping the wrapper dll from Windows Explorer onto the
toolbox.

Thanks, but that doesn't work either. I am now trying to do it with
code. I generated the source with AxImp.exe, added the two dlls and the
..cs file to my project and now I get the error:

Error 19 Duplicate 'AssemblyVersion' attribute
C:\Code\ModelMaker\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs 32

on the line of code:
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]

Any ideas? Thanks.

I have another question. This ActiveX control communicates to the
application through Events. Does the ComVisible attribute need to be set
to true for Events to work? Thanks again.

I tried dragging and dropping the control onto the toolbox in C# IDE but
that did not work.

Ok, adding the control with your own code works, just the .cs file
generated generated by aximp doesn't compile and the control doesn't
show up in the Toolbox. At least there seem to be a way to add it, though.
