I have downloaded objectListView but do not know how to add the component to ToolBox, and so that I could drag it to my application. Anyone know how to do that?
Simply follow these steps:
In the Toolbox, right click to select Add Tab.
Provide appropriate name to that Tab.
Right click in the new tab and select Choose Items...
Browse the DLL and all the components will be listed in the new Tab.
Just to clarify: in the Choose Items dialog, make sure you have the ".NET Framework Components" selected. For some reason I started in the "COM Components" tab myself, and while you can click the Browse button there as well, you will get a message that there are no controls in the dll.

I need to add Google Maps in one of my projects and I found that I can use GMap.NET. Show I downloaded the GMap.NET and I add as references GMap.NET.Core.dll
and GMap.NET.WindowsForms.dll as shown in the guide of the GMap.net. Show according to the guide in "Choose Items" in toolbox section it must has appeared the GMapControl item but it hasn't. I haven't find any solution to this problem so I decided to make this article. Sorry for my bad english, I would be glad if anyone can help.
Go to TOOLS menu then click on "choose toolbox items...". Select .NET Framework Components, then click browse.Add GMap.NET.WindowsForms.dll there. Then when you open your toolbox, you should see GMapControl on General menu. If it's not there, check other toolbox menus.
As you can see in my screenshots below, I don't have an option chart under my toolbox. I checked and seem to have the proper references in place. I don't see any option to add the chart control either. Please help. Tnks.
reference
toolbox
no option to add chart control
The References under Solution Explorer only refers to what you can use in code. Toolbox items have to be added separately. To do this, right-click inside the Toolbox and select Choose Items.... In the dialog that appears select the tab referring to the type of control (in this case it looks like WPF). Scroll through the list to find the controls you want to add, tick them and click OK. The controls should now be available in the Toolbox. You can add extra tabs/sections to the Toolbox with the Add Tab right-click option.
That's a good question - I needed to search for a solution when I first tried to add new controls to the Toolbox!
Hope this helps! :)
I suggest you to use devexpress..
Install devexpress first..
After installing , restart you visual studio,, open a windows form application
and
Try devexpress..
Add " New Tab" in your tool box.
Right Click Tab and "Choose Items"
You can select dll files there. selec all related files and click ok
when you are done, just drag and drop chart control on you application, the reference will automatically updated.
The Chart is not a standard feature control of .NET 3.5 although it can be installed from a separate download. It is only standard in .NET 4.0 or higher. It is Not available at all (no separate download) for .NET 3.0 and below!
If you can, do change your project to .NET 4.0 to make the Chart control present in the Toolbox and then be able to add it to your forms. I have learnt this the long way...
ALL,
I have created a new component in Visual Studio inside the solution I'm working on my application.
Now I want that component to appear in the Toolbox of Visual Studio.
How can I do that?
I tried to close and re-open the solution and its not there.
Thank you.
When you rebuild your solution after creating the control, Visual Studio automatically adds the control by creating a new category named after your application. If for some reason, VS doesn't adds it, you can manually do it by right clicking in the toolbox and choosing Customize. A dialog box will appear listing assemblies to be added to the toolbox. Since you have a custom control, you need to browse for your control's DLL (You have it under Bin folder of your application). This will add the control to the toolbox.
You right click on the toolbox and choose "Customize" , you will have a dialog that lets you browse to the assembly of your control .
I made a User Control and already was able to use it by adding it to a form in the C# code. The User Control is in the same VS2005 Project as the main form.
The problem is that I can't see the User Control in the gui editor ([Design] window) with this implementation. I tried many things but I wasn't able to add the user control to the real form desing.
I read some things about making a control lib dll and then add this dll to the toolbox but I don't want to have an additional project and an additional binary file.
How can I use a User Control in an form Design, if both are in the same VS Project? I think somehow this should be possible?
Edit 1:
Sorry I have Visual Studio 2005 not 2010
It's certainly possible to use a UserControl in design mode when it's part of the same project.
Do note, however, that it will only show up in your toolbox if you have enabled the "AutoToolboxPopulate" setting. Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Options". Expand "Windows Forms Designer", and click on "General". Make sure that the "AutoToolboxPopulate" property is set to True. When you rebuild your solution, your UserControl should show up at the top of your toolbox, ready to add to your form.
Alternatively, you can add the UserControl to your toolbox manually. To do that, right-click on your toolbox and select "Choose Items" from the context menu. Navigate to your control, ensure that it is checked in the list, and click "OK".
In the event that an exception is thrown (like MacX mentioned), you will still be notified by the designer. The control will still show up in the toolbox, and you'll still be able to attempt to add it to your form.
As APShredder already mentioned the control should automatically appear in the toolbox. If it doesn't check your Visual Studio Settings:
Tools - Options - Windows Forms Designer - General - AutoToolboxPopulate - True
For further informations just read the Walkthrough in the MSDN.
You should be able to use a custom User Control in the Winforms designer. You have to build your project first however. You can do this by going to Build --> Build Solution or by pressing F6. Then your control should appear in the Toolbox.
Yes, in the toolbox, right-click and choose "Choose items...". Then navigate to the ".NET Framework Components" - your controls should be listed in there. Just choose to add them.
There should be no Problem with the Control, except you have an exception which is thrown within the constructor or the Load-Event. The the Designer is not able to display the control correctly.
In VS2010 after you create a User Control and compiled it, VS add automatically your component and make it visibile in his namespace on ToolBar.
This can be done in Both WPF and old style code/Components...
I have a MS AJAX toolkit DLL which I want to add to the toolbox items as a tab.
How do I go about in doing this?
Open the toolbox on the left-hand side of the IDE and find the Ajax Controls Tab
Right Click in the Tab, and select Choose Items (will take some time to load) (the image shows a click on the General tab instead of the Ajax Control Toolkit:
(source: xstandard.com)
After the Choose Toolbox Items window opens, click on the .NET Framework Components tab:
(source: idautomation.com)
Finally click on the Browse... button, and choose your DLL from there.
After that, your Control should appear in the tab.
