Add a custom control (component) to my Toolbox
I have a new custom control called CustomListBox, I have added it to a Project in my VS 2008 Windows Forms appllication. It is saved as CustomListBox.cs.
I would like to add it to my Controls toolboxin the VS IDE, but when I try to Choose Items in the Toolbox, it is ,of course, looking for a .dll, not a .cs project file.
What's the trick??
Thanks ...

Never mind - I have it - I just wasn't looking carefully - it was already added to the Toolbox, but was out of alphabetical order - duh...
Thanks for the solution - I can see how it works as you describe it

If the control is physically added to your project then just BUILD it and then new control should appear at the top of the ToolBox:

What I am missing is the DLL - I created the CustromChecked List box as a New Item within a Project., so it is saved in the Project's directory as a .cs file.
