To start using our .Net components you first need to add the component to the Toolbox. This can be done in a variety of ways but we recommend:

1. Select the Tools menu in Visual Studio and select 'Choose Toolbox Items..'

2. Use the Browse button to locate the dll file of the component you want to add to the Toolbox.

3. Select the component (.dll file) and click open

4. Once you have selected the component you will see it is added to the Toolbox items list.

Once you have added the component to the Toolbox, you will be able to drag and drop the component onto any .Net form and start using the menu features.

NOTE: For client releases we strongly recommend you install the component in the GAC. See MSDN for details.
