Hello all,

By default, when you run the installer for an Infragistics product that is version 2009 Vol. 2 or later, the installer tries to automatically create a toolbox tab for the product in Visual Studio. Sometimes, for various reasons, this can fail which is why we still supply the Toolbox Utility along with the product. If the Toolbox Utility fails, then there are a few ways you can resolve or work around the issue.

One of the most common causes of issues with the Toolbox Utility is corrupted Visual Studio tbd files. To resolve this issue, make sure Visual Studio is closed and then navigate to the following folder:

%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio

Then, go in to the folder that matches the version of Visual Studio you are using (8.0 for 2005, 9.0 for 2008, etc). In here, delete any *.tbd files that you find. Please note that these files are hidden files, so you'll need to make sure that your options are set up so that you can see them. Once this is done, start up Visual Studio and the tbd files should be recreated. Most of the time this will also cause the Infragistics controls to show up in the toolbox without you needing to do any more work, though if you don't see them try running the Toolbox Utility again.

If this doesn't work then you should be able to work around the issue by using one of the following articles to create the toolbox tab manually:
