    Resolved [RESOLVED] Can't find Control Library in Menu

    I'm using VS2010 Express but there doesn't seem to be an option to create a control library project. Is this not included in this version or must I download it from somewhere?

    You don't need it. It's simply a project template that will compile to a DLL and adds a UserControl by default. If you want a DLL then create a Class Library project. If you add references to System.Drawing.dll and System.Windows.Forms.dll and then remove the default class and add a UserControl then you have exactly what the Windows Control Library project template creates.
