My User Controls

[Michael Turner]

Hi

I have just added an existing project containing user controls into another
solutions now they dont appear in 'my user controls' any idea why this is? I
have tried building the solution.

Thanks,
Mike.

Try right clicking on the user control tab of the ToolBox and select add User
controls.

Hi Dennis

Do you mean 'Add/Remove Controls' I know I can add them this way however
shouldn't they appear automaticly when you have a usercontrol as part of
your solution? I don't particly like having controls added the above way as
if a control is in my solution it is normally because I am working on it and
I can find that if you add them manually and then change the control
sometimes the changes made do not come through all the time where as if they
are in my user controls because VB has picked it up then it is fine.

Any more thoughts any one?

Mike.

I believe that when you are through developing your control, you should add
it to a project by setting a reference to yourcontrol.dll. This should
automatically add it to the usercontrols on the tool box. However, when you
add yourcontrol project directly to another project, you have to manually add
it to the toolbox.

Have you told your project needing controls to reference the other project that
has them? They are two separate projects until you make the connection.
