ConsoleControl not in Toolbox #9

m1l commented 10 years ago

Hi, I created new WPF application, added it via Manage Nuget Packages (choosing WPF version) but it is not in the Toolbox. What am I doing wrong?

So far I'm not sure about this one, I haven't seen it before - hopefully we'll see if others experience this..

Same here with VS Express 2013.

I've just downloaded VS 2013, let me look into this for you now

I also do not see the ConsoleControl in the Toolbox after adding it to References using Manage Nuget Package (tried both WindowsForm and WPF versions) :( I use MS VS Ultimate 2013.

I tried to add it programmatically but did not see any thing:

        ConsoleControl.ConsoleControl console = new ConsoleControl.ConsoleControl();

        console.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(100, 100);
        console.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(80, 80);
        console.Visible = true;

        this.Controls.Add(console);

I just had the same problem as well - in the end I just went Tools > "Choose Toolbox Items" and browsed to the Controll DLL that NuGet had pulled down.

The Library/Control is working like a charm, thanks Dave!

Thanks for the updates guys, I'll see if there's a cleaner way of getting the items in the toolbox, but it looks like I'll have to write a specialised visual studio extension to allow this - what a pain!

When I tried to follow the steps that coaxke describes I got an error message. I solved that by making sure that the toolbox panel was shown in Visual Studio Express (2012) and then dragged ConsoleControl.dll from explorer onto the panel.

I am facing the same issue. Even after downloading ConsoleControl doesn't show up in the toolbox list. I am using vs2017. But worked as suggested by coaxke. Thanks

Installed it in a VS2022 .NET 7.0 Winforms project. Did not show up in the toolbox nor in the Choose Toolbox Items dialog. Had to add it programmatically.
