How to drag a UserControl into the Toolbox?

Question

i have an ASP.net UserControl that i want to use:

Following the instructions in Visual Studio:

There are no usable controls in this group.
Drag an item onto this text to add it to the toolbox.

i try dragging the item onto that text to add it to the toolbox:

Unfortunately, dragging an item onto that text does not add it to the toolbox:

So that raises the question:

How do i drag a UserControl into the Toolbox?

Note

• building, or rebuilding, does not automatically add the control to the toolbox
• the Choose Items dialog does not include user controls

Answer 1

You don't. Just drag the UserControl from the solution explorer onto the design surface. No need to add it into the toolbox first.

Here is a relevant article in the asp.net forum.
