In my Visual Studio 2019 I don't get any "choose items" when right-clicking "Toolbox".

I had to use Tools / Choose Toolbox 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.

  3. browse to your DLL.
