The Toolbox-tool added the 8.2 controls but didn't remove the 8.1 controls in VS2008.Did anybody test that new release before releasing it?
The longer I use NetAdvantage the more I get the impression that something is really going wrong in that company.Sad for the few people who still try to provide high quality support (like the Infragistics guys who post in this forum).
If anybody needs help how to restore the Toolbox drop a note here.

Gerald,
The toolbox utility isn't designed to remove previous releases from the toolbox; it is only designed to install the new tools into the toolbox. Did you read some where that it was suppose to remove previous releases?

Yes. Recently I had troubles with controls in the designer because they didn't show up in the form area anymore. That happened after I installed the latest hotfix. The support told me to run the Toolbox-Tool to get rid of references to previous controls.
Also, when the Toolbox tool is running it first says in the console output that it removes the controls.
But thanks for clarifying that: The Toolbox tool is not able to remove any controls from the Toolbox. That means we have to remove "old" controls manualy.
The ToolBox Utility will remove the tab it created for the same major version, but not for other versions. In other words, if you install 8.2 and then run the TBU, it installs toolbox items for version 8.2. If you then subsequently install a hot fix and re-run the TBU, it will delete the tab it had previously created for v8.2 and replace that tab with a new tab (with the same name) and add new toolbox items for the new version of the assemblies.
Note that it can only do this if the tab has the default name that it had when it was created. If you change the name of the tab, it can't know that it was originally created by the TBU.
Also, it can be used to remove old versions, if you want. But the shortcut installed with v8.2 probably specifies v8.2 in the command line. So you will most likely need to run the TBU executable with different options to specify other versions of NetAdvantage. If you want a list of what the options are, just run the TBU with no command line options and it will display a help dialog.
