I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I don't see a
newsgroup for Visual Studio question. I have a program I'm writing in
VS2008, using vb.net. I have it about done but need to add a few other
controls to some forms.. I know I can get around this by manually creating
the controls, or copying an existing control, however what happened
yesterday has happened a few times and I have no idea what I'm doing to
cause it.

All of the standard controlls (combo boxes, text boxes, buttons) are missing
from the toolbox. I closed down the project and created a new one from
scratch and it's the same thing there.. doesn't seem to be related to the
project, but something in the VS environment. I found a few places online
that give some strange and unhelpful answers, I figured I would check here..

thanks for any help
 
found it.
right click on the toolbox and "Reset Toolbox"
Click to expand...

My VS2005 Toolbox icons recently got "lost". Most, but not all, appeared
as an exclamation mark in a red circle. Resetting solved this also.

I wonder what caused it in the first place?
