How to add User control in the toolbox for C#.net for winforms by importing the dll to the reference?

I have one dll of usercontrol and I add to it to the references in my project. And now I want to access this usercontrol from toolbox but it does not appear in the toolbox. And I can access them by writing code, but I want it in toolbox and want to use by just dragging it to the form.

The user control must have a default constructor. Otherwise it is not shown in the choose items pop-up. It might be also necessary to rebuild solution to add it to toolbox.

Here is the reference

Drag & Drop the dll (from explorer) to the desired category (in VS 2012).

You need to right click on the toolbox, select "Choose Items.." and browse to the dll containing the control.
