I have started playing around with .NET 5.0 and when I created a VB Winforms app, I noticed that the ComponentOne controls are not showing up in the Toolbox. I verified that 5.0 versions are installed but I cannot find a way to populate the toolbox. Any suggestions? They show up just fine with .NET Framework up to version 4.0 but not with .NET 5.0.

Hi,
In .NET 5, the control will be available in the toolbox once you’ve added the corresponding Nu-Get package for it in the project.
Even though you may have C1 Installed, you will need to install the appropriate C1 Nuget Package to load controls in the toolbox.
Regards.

Thanks for getting back to me. Why did they do it that way with .NET 5.0 instead of placing them in the toolbox like they did with earlier versions? It is a very inconvenient way of accessing the version 5.0 controls. Are there any plans to change that with the upcoming release of Visual Studio 2022?

Hi,
It is not a C1 specific issue. You will have to follow the same procedure for using any third-party control at design time in NET 5. It is how the designer of NET 5 works. We suggest you discuss this further at Microsoft Forums at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home.

Thanks. I was not aware of that. I am only just now looking at .NET 5.0 for the first time. Everything I have done up to this point is .NET Framework 4.8 and earlier.

I am having the same problem with .Net 6. I added the Nuget package and can use the C1 controls, but I cannot get them to appear in the toolbox.

Hi,
If you still have the issue after setting the property as suggested by Wolfagang.
Can you let us know which version and the NuGet package you are facing this issue with?
Regards
Avnish
PS: Thank you for the suggestion, Wolfgang.

Yes, that option is set to “True”. I also tried resetting the toolbox, but that did not help. I’m having this problem with multiple project which all use C1.
I am using the latest version 6.0.20221.557 FlexChart, FlexGrid, and FlexGrid.ImportExport
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
We checked with the NET6 project in VS 2022 and could not replicate the issue.
Could you please let us know the OS version and VS2022 version you are using?
Are you facing the issue only in some projects or in new projects too?
Regards
Avnish

OK, I just went to the C1 dashboard on my development machine and saw that the latest 566 build was not installed yet. I just did so and still no joy. No controls in the toolbox, and Choose Items doesn’t show any C1 controls, and when I browse to a C1 DLL an error appears saying that controls cannot be added dynamically.

Just to be sure: attached is a project where it works for me.
FlexChartTest.zip
The toolbox looks like this:
What happens for you? Does the toolbox in this project not contain any C1 items?
Best regards

Hi Chris,
We are still not able to replicate the issue at our end with the 566 build and VS 2022. We are getting a new environment ready again, this time a fresh machine with Windows 21H2 and VS 2022 version 17.3.1. We will check with that and update you accordingly.
“Choose items” does not work in NET6 as it does in NET Framework 4.8. You need to use the Nuget to get items in the toolbox.

Hi Chris,
Apologies for the delay.
The development team tried all scenarios they could and were not able to replicate the issue. Could you please try the latest release of NuGet packages?
If you still face the issue, please let us know if you are seeing the same issue with other controls also like FlexGrid, C1Input, etc.

Avnish
