I’ve been developing in C# for my Senior Design project, and I have a lot of user controls that I’ve been using in the project, and while most of them are instantiated at runtime, a few needed to be embedded into the forms. And of course, I couldn’t actually do that since I couldn’t drag any of the controls into the Toolbox, even with a successful build. After playing with it for awhile, I found the solution.

It was as easy as this:

Tools -> Options ->  Windows Form Designer  -> General -> AutoToolboxPopulate = true

For some reason, it was not set on my desktop but was set on my laptop. So odd… hope that helps ya if you happen to have that problem!
