User Control Components In Toolbox, VS2008
Feb 21, 2010
I 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?

How could I get the icons for components in the toolbox into .ico or .bmp or whatever image format they are in, I've looked through system32 etc etc and searched online for hours but I just can't figure out how to get specific control's icons (like a textbox's).

I have installed new components under Visual Studio 2010 on a Win7x64 machine. When I go to Tools > Choose toolbox items, and put a check beside the new components, they do not show up in the toolbox. As a test, I tried adding checks to some other non-checked tools, and they immediately show up in the toolbox. what to check for (no pun intended)?

I am trying to create a custom control and put three of them on the main form of the project. I have the control made, but I can't figure out how to add it to the toolbox.
Note: I am using Visual Studio 2010 EXPRESS EDITION. I don't know if this matters for something like this, but I thought I should probably mention it.

I have created a User Control in VB 2005 that adds other controls dynamically. This is a fairly simple test project, with checkboxes added to the control at run-time. Here's the user control:
Public
Class UserControl1
Public x
[Code]......
Then I built the test control and tried to added it to the Toolbox. When I did this--i.e., browsed to the dll and double-clicked it, I got the errror message:
"There are no components in ... that can be placed in the toolbox."
Is it even possible to add a User Control to the Toolbox without compile-time components?

I know how to get a user control into the toolbox, but is there a way to get it to be part of vb.NET's startup as a permanent control? In other words, if I start vb.NET and begin a new project, it would be nice that the custom control is already available without having to load its dll each time I start a new project.

In Visual Basic 6:
[var = ] Point(X,Y) would retrieve the Color in Long from an Individual Point on a Form or Picture Box.
Components(TextBox, etc) were indexable into an array under one name.
Is there any manner to do any of this in Visual Basic Express? (I have the 2005 Edition.)

I have an ExtendedDateTimePicker control on my form. When I attempt to change the "ShowCheckBox" property to true, VS2008 stops responding and eventually exits the application; losing any unsaved changes.
I then tried to changed the property in code and the same result.
I want the control's value to be blank when it initializes.

I have a custom component, that contains a list of another components.If I add a child component to the list, it shows up on the same level as the parent component in the document outline window.How can I make it a subitem of the parent component? (similarly to e.g. TabPages that are subitems of a TabControl)
Here is my code:
Public Class SomeComponent
Inherits Component
[code].....

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.

My project, which has 2 user controls in it- does not display the user controls in the toolbox. Has anyone else had this problem, and/or know of a solution?I have tried adding other user controls to the project, they do not appear in the toolbox.I have tried creating a new project, and it's user controls DO show up in the toolbox. If I add the user controls from the first project to the new project -THEY show up in the toolbox for that project.So it must be something tweaked out with the project right?

I was wondering if there were any free ribbon controls for vb.net, and if there are not, how I could go about making my own. I don't want to pay $300 or more for a professional one...and I would really like to add one to my project.
What would be the best solution for finding/making one?Here is my google search I tried, I could only find one for c#. If possible, I would like one which is the closest to the one used in Office 2007.

I have to develop a software able to perform some scientific calculations in the field mechanical engineer; to be more precise, this software must be able to predict the torsional vibration behaviour of crankhsfts and drive-trains.To build my model I need a library of pre-configured elements (organised in a toolbox), that I can drag&drop in my working area and then link together properly to build the model itself.Also the load cases and the input data should be organised in a toolbox as pre-configured elements that I can chose and fill-in accordingly.Here my questions:
1. how can I develop such a toolbox?
2. how can I develop my working area?
Many commercial software are organised like that but I have no idea how to do it.

I'm using the webbrowser control in VB.net. I want to click a button and have the webbrowser go to a certain website (done). Then I want it to wait a period of time and then do something on the page its on. The part I'm having a problem with is the waiting period. In the main form I have no problem manipulating controls or anything like that.
One solution would be to use thread.sleep() but that locks the ui and I don't like that. What I am trying to do is have a backgroundworker do the waiting then perform the necessary actions on the webpage, but the backgroundworker isn't able to access that thread, makes sense. I've explored delegates but that doesn't seem to do what I want as it doesn't allow me to put the background thread to sleep before it does its work.

This illustration shows how I'm trying to get 2 vb.net user controls into the toolbox to use on a c# form. In toolbox Select Items I see the items checked but clicking OK or Reset doesn't make them appear in the toolbox. How do I do that? somehow the controls appeared in the Toolbox, but they're greyed out and unavailable.

I have created a series of custom user controls for a wizard interface that I am making. Each user control represents one step in the wizard and really shouldn't be used outside of the wizard. The thing that is bugging me is that each wizard step user control shows up in the toolbox of components to insert into a form.
Is it possible to hide a user control from the toolbox? Better yet is it possible to hide a user control from other classes not in the same namespace of an assembly? Is this a good approach or should I think of a different approach?

I have a VB form that contains controls for interfacing with some hardware (video cameras, motors, etc) on the machine it is to be deployed on, but I'm usually not at the location of said machine (it's a 3-hour drive away). I'm trying to work on the project while on my laptop, but obviously the controls will generate all sorts of errors since they can't talk to the hardware.
I was thinking of replacing the control types with my own mock control classes, then use #if directives to control whether I'm building for the real machine or my test machine. Problem is, some of the affected code is in the form designer-generated code section; the form designer automatically tries to "correct" my changes, so I'd have to manually put them back all the time, and try to remember not to commit the form designer's edits into version control.
