Toolbox custom components

[Ronny]

I found some ready c# project and when I load it into VS2005 I see that it
inroduce 2 components in the toolbox.
How does the solution/project does that?

Which type of components? User controls, for example, are added to the
toolbox automatically.

Thanks,
Following your answer I saw that both components do inherit from
UserControl(among other classes) so I guise that it matches exactly to your
advise...
What is the advantage of having the component a toolbox representation, does
that make the programming easier?

Does using the toolbox make your life easier? If so then yes.

Yes, because it enables you to place the control on another usercontrol or
form easily in the designer without writing a single line of code.
