I have a solution that I design all my reusable code/forms in.
This solution contains a project "Cody" which is my "Class Library"
and a project "Test" which is a "Window Application" with 2 forms on in to test my new stuff.
So whenever I start new solutions/projects I add a reference to my .dll

And now I am adding custom controls
My new controls show up and work fine on the project "Test"
But when I reference them into another solution they won't appear in the toolbox!

What am I missing?
 
Only components of Visual Studio and open projects and manually added show in Toolbox. To add manually use context menu and click "Choose items..." then browse to your class library assembly, all components there are selected and added to the tab you called context menu from. When you add one of these controls to a form in your project the assembly reference is automatically added (if not already there).
 
When you have a project that is in a solution folder, the user controls in this project won't show up in the toolbox!

:confused:
