I have a custom control DLL. How can I add these custom controls to VS2008 tool box programatically?
Right-click on toolbox
select "Choose Items"
browse to your DLL.
Add the items
There are several ways to do it:
As explained at MSDN Tutorial: Installing Controls By Using the Toolbox Controls Installer you do it from an installer.
There's also another possibility using a command line program available on CodePlex. You use this application with your favorite installer or you can invoke it manually.
In my Visual Studio 2019 I don't get any "choose items" when right-clicking "Toolbox".
I had to use Tools / Choose Toolbox Items

I want to create a blank form in Visual Studio C#.
However, all I can create is an inherited Form, why is that?
On the web, all I can find is a tutorial where they have the blank form option. Why don't I have it?
Open the start menu and look for Visual Studio Installer (for VS 2015 or later). Run the program.
Find the Modify setting under the More menu:
Make sure you have the ".NET desktop development" box checked.
Perform any necessary Visual Studio restarts and you should then have the option for a Windows Form when you select Add... from Solution Explorer within a Windows Forms project.
Krypton used to be a purchase item, but now it's displayed on Github for personal and commercial projects.

I'm using Visual Studio 2012 and the components seems to work in this version as I quote:
Full source code for all the controls and components is included along
with Visual Studio project and solution files for 2005, 2008 and 2010
versions of Visual Studio. If you are using a newer version of Visual
Studio you can still load the solutions and it will compile just fine.
I have download the github files and I have a bunch of dll files. I have added those dll files into my Visual Studio Toolbox.
What happens is that the items are added successfull but when I drag and drop them into the form they do not appear. I have tried the Buttons, DataGridViews, etc, none of them work.
The project shows no error when I run..what am I missing?
Solved.
1) Inherit the KryptonForm
public partial class Form1 : KryptonForm
2) Add the Design.dll library as reference and not as Toolbox item
I just imported the nuget package into visual studio 2013. I found that all the metro control in toolbox cannot be added on the windows form, and they will display on the panel under the windows form. How can i solve this?
I assume you are adding third party user controls into your solution through nuget.
The first thing I will check is to see if the dll files (your third party library) have been added to the project properly.
The second thing is do a rebuild on the whole solution.
I want to add one of those dockable windows panes, such as the solution explorer in visual studio 2008 to my project, are they in fact called dockable tool, or shims? And where do I find it because obviously its not in the default list?
There is no built-in control in .Net that does this; you need a third-party docking suite.
Commercial ones include DevExpress XtraBars.
Free ones include DockPanel Suite.
