He there, i am trying to add metro framework to my new win form application but unfortunately, i am unable to add metroframework.dll to toolbox tab. It shows the following error 'there are no components in {directory}metroframework that can be placed on the toolbox Metro Framework'. I am using vs 2017 on windows 10.

Can you please guide me resolving this issue?

Regards

I found the fix, you need to compile the source code and manually add the DLL to the toolbox from "MetroFramework\MetroFramework\bin\Release" instead of "MetroFramework\MetroFramework.Design\bin\Release"

Right click into the toolbox -> Choose Items -> Browse -> Navigate to your solution/packages/MetroFramework.RunTime/lib/net40-Client/MetroFramework.dll

You should see new components appear in the Toolbox. (For me they were listed under "Printing") I made a new Tab and moved all Metro-Components with drag and drop
