I've tried installing the NetAdvantage for ASP.NET 2008 Vol 1 for both CLR 2 and 3.5 (not at the same time). In neither one of these attempts did my toolbox populate with controls. I tried running the "Create Visual Studio Toolbox Tab" and it didn't create anything.
God help me I'm running Vista. Also running Visual studio 2008 and IIS 7 is in management compatibility mode.
Has anyone had and solved this problem? I'm at the end of my rope, and Ifragistics support is down to repeating "uninstall it and reinstall".
Thanks!
Hi Derek,
I accidentally deleted my toolbox tab and the "Create Visual Studio Toolbox Tab" utility was not doing anything when I ran it (though the command prompt window did flash on/off). I followed this process (except for Windows Forms) and it worked like a charm!
Try right clicking in the Toolbox to add a new, empty tab. Then open a Windows Explorer window (shortcut: Windows Key-E) on the "C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage for ASP.NET 2008 Vol. 1 CLR 2.0\ASP.NET\bin" folder (or to the \ASP.NET\bin subfolder in whichever path you had installed to), if you are in a details view it is easy to sort the files in Windows Explorer by clicking the column header (so all the .dll Application Extension files will appear together as a group), select the range of .dll files with Shift-click on the first file in the group and then Shift-click on the last file in the group and drag the whole lot of them over to your new tab in the Toolbox.
Thanks!~Kelly
Take a look at the following forum post about the toolbox and VS08.

In that post I mention that there have been some issues with mouse drivers and ASP.NET controls in the Visual Studio environmnet.
Hi,
I've tried Your approach on VS 2005 on WinXP SP2 with NA for ASP.NET 2008 8.2 CLR 2.0, but noyhing happens. No components are added nor any error message displayed.
I can't see any Web component enabled to be able to drag it on the ASPX page. All of them are present, but disabled, and have absolutely no idea of what is going on...
BTW: WinForms work.

Should work (or if it doesn't work, at least you will get some kind of message from Visual Studio as to perhaps why it didn't work.)
Tim Hitchings "]If there only thing you're having a problem with is getting controls in the toolbox you can manually add them
Yeah, tried that. The components were already selected. Deselecting them, clicking ok, and reseelcting them did nothing.
Any other ideas?
