Does VS 2008 have a control availible like the toolbox control from within the studio? I've looked through the list in the toolbox for choose items and am not finding it, but since I don't know what it would be called I might be over looking it.

I am currently translating a windows form application, written in VB6, to a webpage written in Visual Studio 2010. In VB6 it is easy to find out which control has focus on the form using '.getFocus()'. I have come to the conclusion it is not that easy, if at all possible, in vb2008.

Because captchas are dynamic images, I cannot pull the image from a src file. I'm pretty new to vb.net so, how would I initiate a session, with the webbrowser control or webclient, and be able to display the captcha image for that session on my form.

View 1 RepliesI made a custom control that is a 15x15 grid designed to show a tiled map. Inside I have a class that inherits from pictureBox. The problem comes when I try to place my DLL inside the toolbox. When I click "browse" and select my DLL to import it simply import my class inheriting pictureBox instead of the whole package.
Here is a picture of my files. Grid.vb is the control, clsTile is the pictureBox class and the other one is irrelevant. [URL]

I made a customized TextBox that I'd like to permanently add to the toolbox. But when I close the project that I created it in, my new control also disappears and I have to copy/paste or import the class-code every time I want to use it. Is there a way to get the control in the toolbox "forever"?I tried to enclose the class in a "Namespace CustomClasses" statement and changed the root namespace in the project properties to "CustomClasses", but nothing of what I tried is permanent. I prefer to store my classes in a "real" root namespace, in the same root as the microsoft and system namespaces.

I'm interested in a description of the step-by-step process for creating a custom control and making it available in the toolbox with vb2008. Just for an example, suppose one wanted to have an array of 9 buttons in a 3x3 pattern already labeled 1-9 as a control usable from the toolbox just as a single button or label etc. is, so that one could drag it from the toolbox to the form or a groupbox.
View 1 RepliesI am building an application in VS2008 (VB.NET) that contains several user controls. When I was developing under VS2005, all the components in my application would load into the toolbox so I could access them during design.
Since upgrading to VS2008, however, those application-based components do not load, and I cannot access the user controls I have built.
1. Exit Visual Studio
2. Navigate to %USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalMicrosoftVisualStudio9.0
3. Delete the TBD files found there (these are hidden by default)
4. Re-start Visual Studio and open your WPF application - the toolbox will now be reinitialized
and that worked for one session, but it did not get preserved -- when I shut down and came back into VB.NET, the application-based controls no longer loaded.
Is there some setting in VS2008 that I am missing? Or is there another step to getting the app-based controls to reappear each time I load the development files?
