I am having a problem with selecting the DataList control from my
toolbox. I added it to the toolbox, but when I go to the Windows
Forms Tab, it shows up "greyed out". I can't left-click it or drag it
onto my form. It is the only control like this (except when I tried
Repeater which does the same thing). What do I need to do to enable
Visual Studio (VB project) to allow me to select this DataList
control? Is it something to do with the libraries I am
using/including? I am a Visual Studio newbie, so it may be that I
overlooked something when installing it.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Are you sure only that one control that is disabled? Make sure you are the design view and that you're application isn't running. The only other thing I can think of is a VS enterprise template where you boss would have disable that control in your toolbox.
