    Hi

    I have created various running projects in Visual Studio 2010 using Component One tools.

    For no reason I can identify, the C1 items have disappeared from the toolbox.

    The existing grids etc are stll in place and work, but I cannot add new C1 components.

    Any ideas?

    Regards

    Colin

    Hello,

    Have you upgraded to the newer version? If yes, then this is a known issue wherein the controls doesn’t get added automatically in the toolbox. However, you have to manually add the same.

    Please follow these steps to add the controls manually to the toolbox:

    1. Add a new Tab in the Toolbox and name it C1 Controls
    2. Open C:Program FilesComponentOneStudio for WinFormsbinv2 or v4
    3. Restore your Visual Studio to a smaller size. Now Drag and drop the dll from the folder to the C1 Controls tab you’ve added in the toolbox.

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks,

    Reeva Dhingra

    This does not work in VS2013.4 with C1 components vs. 2014.3. I cannot find any dll in the folder or subfolders in programs. How to do it in that case?

    Hi,

    I tried to update VS2013.4 toolbox with C1 Controls version 2014.3 using the method mentioned above and the toolbox was success. You may find the dlls at the following location which is the default location:

    C:\Program Files\ComponentOne\Studio for WinForms\bin\v2.0 or v4.0

    I am considering that you have the C1 Studio for Winforms version 2014.3 installed at your end.

    You may even the below steps to add C1 Controls to the toolbox:

    1. Add a new Tab in the Toolbox and name it “C1 Control”.
    2. Right Click under the tab “C1 Control”.
    3. Select “Choose Items”.
    4. Browse through the C1Controls under the ‘.Net Framework Components’ tab and Select all the Controls that you want in the toolbox and then click OK. The controls will be added in the toolbox.

    Note: Before adding the C1 controls check that the controls you are adding should not be present in the toolbox.

    Thanks,

    Hello , I just updated to ComonentOne Ultimate v214.2 using the Updater.

    As reported above all my C1 controls have disappeared from the Toolbox.

    I tried the above mentioned method to drag the dll to the Toolbox but it did not work.

    I tried the “Choose Items” method but it does not show any WPF Controls.

    What can I do?

    I would like to say that my Syncfusion controls show up anytime I update them.

    It´s a bit strange that C1 controls Need to be manually added after each update.

    btw - after the update in my Projects I get the error :The name “C1DataGrid” does not exist in the namespace “http://schemas.componentone.com/winfx/2006/xaml”.

    What Namespace is needed for C1DataGrid now? I remember this was changed in the last update too. Is it really necessary to change namespaces with each update? You should at least provide an Information with the update what has changed.

    Thank you for your efforts.

    Regards

    Hello Arpad,

    Regarding your queries:

    1.) Please make your project’s .net framework is set to 4 or higher version and it should not be a “Client profile” type.

    In order to add Wpf controls in the toolbox, you need to provide the dll’s location. The default dll location is:

    C:\Program Files\ComponentOne\Studio for WPF\bin\v4

    Please follow the steps below to add Wpf controls:

    1. Add a new Tab in the Toolbox and name it “C1Wpf Controls”.
    2. Right Click under the tab “C1Wpf Controls”.
    3. Select “Choose Items”.
    4. Select “Wpf Component” tab.
    5. Scroll through the C1Controls and Select all the Controls that you want in the toolbox and then click OK. The controls will be added in the toolbox. If you do not find any Wpf control while scrolling then,
    6. Click on browse button.
    7. Navigate to default Wpf controls library (whose link is provide above).
    8. Add the dlls of the desired control. The controls will be added in the toolbox.

    2.) No, it is not necessary to change the namespace with every update. Such type of changes was applicable only upto the last update. You are requested to check the the version information of all the references to C1Controls added in your project and make sure all should be the same. Now remove this namespace and add it again.

    Note: If the dlls of C1Control is not available at the default location provided above, then you may download the C1WpfLibrary from the below link and after download, right click on zip folder → click on properties → click on “Unblock button” (if there) → press ok. Now extract the zip folder to default location and add C1Control dlls from there by following the above steps.

    Please let me know if it works for you.

    Thanks,

    Prashant

    Hi, I have this issue and have followed the above instructions but VS2012 can’t see anything to add from the C1.Win.Data.Entity.4.dll (attach1). Inb fact the folder looks a bit sparse (attach2). I can use and existing WPF project and see the tools etc, but if I do a new project, then things may get tricky…!

    And this link returns a 404.

    http://prerelease.componentone.com/dotnet40/c1wpflibrary/2014-t3/C1WPFBasicLibrary.4_4.0.20143.434.zip

    Any ideas

    Hello,

    It seems that you are using entity framework and for this, you could find the “C1.Win.Data.Entity.4.dll” from below location:

    C:\Program Files\ComponentOne\Studio for WinForms\bin\v4

    And apologies for the broken link, the new link for latest C1WPFLibrary build is: http://prerelease.componentone.com/dotnet40/c1wpflibrary/2014-t3/

    Please test your case with the provided dlls and let me know if it works for you.

    Thanks,

    Prashant

    This doesn’t work for me at all. Visual Studio tells me the controls were added, but then the new tab disappears
