New usercontrol not appearing in toolbox?

This is a stupid question, I know, but I can't figure it out... Someone
please embarass me.

I have a solution that has a number of usercontrols included.

When I add a usercontrol project to the solution the control does not
automatically appear in the "My User Controls" toobox. I'm going to the FILE
menu and choosing "Add Project -> Add Existing Project"

Eventually, after several builds, etc. the control appears in the toolbox,
but I have no idea how it got there.

What is the proper way to get the new usercontrol into the toolbox???

Thx!

Did you add a reference to your usercontrol?

If the control exists in the same solution, you can add a
reference to it by selecting the "projects" tab on the
"add reference" dialog.

Yes... I definately added the reference, but still nothing added to the
toolbox.

One odd thing.. Under the References folder the usercontrol doesn't appear,
but if I right-click and "add reference" it's already there under the
Projects tab.

Very bizarre.
