IDE toolbox problem

Hi,

Visual Studio 2005:

I have a strange IDE behaviour:
In my laptop I have installed VS2005 and selected C# as primary language
during the installation.
In my desktop I have installed VS2005 and selected C++ as primary language
during the installation.

They look slightly different (e.g. Output message/compiling windows) and
that is fine.

On the laptop, if I add in my solution another window form project or
project with a visual component in it then in the toolbox appears a new tab
called custom-controls (or something really similar) with the window form or
the new component. This allow me to drag and drop the objects in the form of
my main project.

The same solution opened on my desktop (C++ as primary language) compile and
runs fine but the toolbox doesn't display the custom controls tab with the
window form or the new component. So i cannot drag new ones on the form.!?!

Is it due to the two different primary language? I don't think so.....
I tried to reset the toolbar no changes.
Is there any option that I need to turn on?
Is there any way to change the primary language after the installation?
Many Thanks,
Filippo

I've created library with some "user controls" and they all showed up in the toolbox, so it is easy to drag them to a form in Forms Designer. Now we want to use the controls in our main project which is located on another computer. The problem is they don't show up in the toolbox. What's wrong ? -- Adam

Hello all, I hope someone can help me. I am not new to developing but am new to C# (assemblies etc) and V Studio 2003, although familiar with terminology from VS6. I am in the nightmare scenario of picking up half written code without comments. This is what I have done.

I frequently define internal UserControl-derived classes in my WinForms apps: internal class MyUserControl:UserControl{ ... } I'll often need to embed these controls in a Form, whose class is contained in the same assembly as the control. As far as I know, the only way to do this using the designer is to add the UserControl-derived object

Hello, I am having a problem adding an assembly to the toolbox where it appears VS2003 is unable to make sense of a type I am trying to initialise an attribute with. Below is the simplest example which demonstrates the problem. I have two class library projects in my solution: BaseLib and ControlLib. BaseLib declares a custom attribute and an enum, and ControlLib references BaseLib and has a toolbox class and uses the custom attribute.

Hi there, I'm having problems with the Toolbox in VB.NET 2002 Standard. I have 2 class libraries, 1 contains licensing classes and references nothing but standard namespaces and the other references my first library in order to protect the exposed components. To make things easier I'll refer to my licensing library as licensinglibrary.dll and my control library as controllibrary.dll. When I try to add mycontrollibrary to the toolbox...

If I have a windows form (System.Windows.Forms.Form) open and I push the pin on the toolbox to keep the docked window open, Visual Studios 2003 pegs the processor and basically hangs my computer. I have to kill the program, reboot the PC. Anyone else run into this or something similar? I'm running Version 7.1.3088 of the development environment and 1.1.4322 SP1 of the framework. This hang-up seems to happen regardless of the form that is...

Hi, All of a sudden half of my VS.NET 2005 toolbox icons have got what looks like a chart icon instead of their usual one. What gives and why does it happen?? More importantly, how do I get the usual icons back. It feels a bit like the old ShellIconCache problem Windows used to suffer from?? Siv

Hi everybody, I've install Visual studio Team Edition for Testers on my computers, And I can't seem to find how to show the toolbox. The documenation says there should be a 'Toolbox' menuitem under 'view' menu, But I don't have it! This happens both when editing WinForms & WebForms. Thanks, Nadav

I'm using VS2005. I have a solution consisting of twelve projects. All projects are console/service apps except for one which is a WinForms app. There are no web projects. I'd say that I'm at around 125k-150k lines of code in total. My development machine has 2gigs of physical RAM, a hyperthreaded CPU running at 3.6ghz, and plenty of harddrive space on a recently defragged drive. The only installed apps are VS2005 and SQL Server 2005....

When I create a custom control inside my Windows Application project it does not appear in the toolbox.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
