Hi @John0076, at first glance this seems to be related more to an existing VS issue than to FontAwesome.Sharp.
The closest issue we had with this has been added to the faq, cf.:
Also, resetting the toolbox cache (.tbd) may help, as reported by users having general problems with the toolbox, e.g.
thanks for replying and being aware :) I will try to solve with the information provided.
@John0076 Likewise, thx for reporting the issue. Let me know if it helps.
You're absolutely right, it's a VS error. It is no longer possible to add any type of control (that previously worked) to the toolbox from a dll library. However I could not solve. I will keep looking for solutions. Otherwise I will reinstall the operating system and VS.
Hi, you cannot reset the cache of the toolbox of all versions of visual studio that I commented. I reinstalled everything- Now it works great. Thanks for your help and be aware :) And I find an interesting tutorial with the font Awesome package- Thank you for creating this awesome library. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AsJJl7Bhvc

Awesome ;-) Thanks for the info on the YouTube-Tutorial! Probably a good idea to add a link to the ReadMe.
fyi @ThomasLey
Yes, it would be good to add to the readme file. It helped me understand how to use it, regards ;)
Hi can I get the dll file for fontawesome.sharp
Hi @Rapheal123-star ,
The easiest way is to download the nuget-package. It's just a zip-file. In the lib-folder you will find the dlls.
Hello, I try to add the controls of the FontAwesome.Sharp library to the visual studio 2015 toolbox, with these steps: add items to the tab, i.e. Choose Items -> Browse, then select $ (SolutionDir) ./ packages \ FontAwesome.Sharp.5.8.3 \ lib \ net40 \ FontAwesome.Sharp.dll
But I get the following error:
There are no items in '$ (SolutionDir) ... FontAwesome.Sharp.dll' that can be placed in the toolbox.
I get the same error in visual studio 2012-2015-2017-2019. Although in VS 2017 and 2019 the controls are automatically added to the toolbox after installing from nuget.
