OpenNETCF Controls in the VS toolbox

[Mustafa Rabie]

Hi all
there was a thread earlier about adding the OpenNETCFcontrols to the VS
toolbox. I actually tried adding the dlls to the toolbox but i always get
this error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Development Environment
---------------------------
Insufficient state to deserialize the object. More information is needed.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

what might the problem be?

I am using Windows Server 2003 + VS.Net 2003

thanks
mustafa

Make sure that you are adding the design-time version of the assembly
through the "Add/Remove Items..." dialog. For example, the design-time
assembly that contains OpenNETCF controls is
"OpenNETCF.CF.Windows.Forms.dll" which should be located in a directory like
this:
(VS.Net 2003 install dir)\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\Designer
