Getting Started with Infragistics® NetAdvantage® for .NET (CLR 2.0)
Dragging Assemblies from the Bin Folder


Glossary Item Box

As an alternative to Running the Toolbox Utility to add NetAdvantage for .NET controls/components to the Visual Studio .NET toolbox, you can drag Infragistics' assemblies from your Bin folder to the Microsoft® Visual Studio® toolbox.

To drag Infragistics' assemblies from your Bin folder to the Visual Studio toolbox:

  1. In the Visual Studio IDE, make sure that the toolbox is visible by selecting Toolbox on the View menu.
  2. Right-click anywhere on the toolbox and select Add Tab.
  3. Give the tab a meaningful name such as "NetAdvantage for Windows Forms" or "NetAdvantage for ASP.NET", depending on which NetAdvantage for .NET controls and components you would like to add. You may also want to add the volume number (e.g., 8.1, 7.3, 7.2, 7.1) as a suffix.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all the tabs you want to create.
  5. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Bin directory where the NetAdvantage for .NET assemblies are installed. The assemblies contain the DLLs that you want to add:
    • Windows Forms -- C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 1 CLR 2.0\Windows Forms\Bin
    • ASP.NET -- C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 1 CLR 2.0\ASP.NET\Bin
  6. Select the DLLs that contain the NetAdvantage for .NET controls/components you want to add to the Visual Studio toolbox.

  7. Drag the DLLs over to the Visual Studio tab you created in steps 2 to 4.

Note: If you add all the tools to the toolbox at the same time, it may take a few seconds for Visual Studio to add them all.
