Occasionally, the Toolbox Utility that is included with NetAdvantage does not successfully update or add the NetAdvantage components to your Visual Studio toolbox tabs. When this happens, you can manually create a tab, and drag the assemblies from another window (such as Windows Explorer) into this new tab to add them to the tab. This will eliminate the inconvenience of trying to select the correct assembly from the "Choose Items" or "Customize Toolbox" dialog, especially for users who have several different volumes of NetAdvantage tools installed.
In Visual Studio, start by right-clicking the toolbox area and select the option to create a new tab. Name it as you wish; for NetAdvantage controls, the naming convention we use is "NetAdvantage X.X Web/Win", where X.X is the year and volume number. For example, for NetAdvantage for .NET 2006 Volume 2 for CLR 2.0, you could create the following two tabs:- NetAdvantage 6.2 Web- NetAdvantage 6.2 WinNext, in Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where your assemblies were installed into the Global Assembly Cache, or where the assemblies are saved if they are not installed in the GAC. For NetAdvantage, there are two such locations. Again using NetAdvantage for .NET 2006 Volume 2 for CLR 2.0 as an example, and assuming that it is installed to the default location, you would look in the following two locations:- C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2006 Volume 2 CLR 2.0\ASP.NET\Bin- C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2006 Volume 2 CLR 2.0\Windows Forms\BinSelect each assembly in this folder; most have the extension "dll". Drag them from Windows Explorer to Visual Studio, and drop them on the toolbox tab you created. An item should be created in this tab for each control and component in each assembly. It is important that the toolbox tab is empty before you drop any assemblies onto it, or the operation will do nothing.Note: For NetAdvantage for Windows Forms components, you should not include any assembly files that have the word "Design" in them, as these are used for design-time references only. For NetAdvantage for ASP.NET, the Design files are stored in a subdirectory.
