Please be gentle with the flames....I'm new to VS (and programming in
general).

How do I get the OpenNETCF supplemental tools to appear in the toolbox?
 
This should happen automatically with the binary installation package, did
you get any errors during install?

No, sir. It appeared that everything installed correctly. I have even added
the OpenNETCF.windows.forms reference to the project but cannot seem to add
any tools (or none were added automatically) to the toolbox.
 
Ok, there is a manual way. Right click the Toolbox, and select "Add/Remove
Items...", in the following dialog select browse and locate the file
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows
CE\Designer\OpenNETCF.CF.Windows.Forms.dll
(path may vary based on where Visual Studio is installed)

Clicking Ok should then add all of the forms control contained in the dll to
the toolbox.

Problem solved. Thanks.

The only thing I can think of is that I may have had VS running during the
install. I don't know for sure but I'm sure it was something I did wrong. I
appreciate your help.
