Cannot drag Windows.Forms controls onto designer

[Guest]

Hi,

I am using Whidbey Beta 2 (May) and I cannot drag any Windows.Forms controls onto the designer it tells me that "Make sure the assembly that contains the toolbox item is correctly installed..."
If I open a existing project with controls it compiles and runs. The problem is only with the Windows.Forms controls. I can drag Data\Components (a timer control, EventLog etc.) without a problem.
Any ideas???

thanks in advance

Homer,
Whidbey Beta 1 is now available. See http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/

Remember that the May Community Technology Preview, is just that a Preview
version (similar to an Alpha version).

Hope this helps
Jay
