How to import a custom control DLL to a new project?

I have a custom control DLL in Project1. I want to use the custom control DLL in Project2. I added a reference of the DLL in Project2 but I am not able to see it in my toolbox.

Items are not automatically added to the toolbox when they are added as a reference to the project.

The easiest way to add the items to the toolbox is to drag a copy of the DLL from windows explorer onto the toolbox.

Open any form of Project2. Then:

  1. Right-click
  2. Choose Items...
  3. Browse
  4. Select your Project1.dll
  5. Click OK

Then they should appear in your toolbox.
