Custom Control DLL Reference Greyed Out in Toolbox

[neef]

I'm trying to add a custom panel to my toolbox using a dll file, but when I add it as a reference it only appears as greyed out - and this is only after I click "Show All" in the toolbox.

Everything builds fine in the Class Library project I used to create the custom control. Here is the simple code:

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class pnDoubleBuffered
    Inherits Windows.Forms.Panel
    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()

        SetStyle(ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer Or ControlStyles.UserPaint Or ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, True)
        SetStyle(ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, True)
        Me.UpdateStyles()
    End Sub
End Class

I build the project, open my main project where I want to use the control. Then I click "Choose All" from the toolbox and add the reference using ".NET Frameworks Components". I find my dll file and click OK. Then nothing is added to the toolbox. I manage to see the control greyed out when I click the "Show All" option.

This is my first attempt at a dll custom control. What am I doing wrong?

I tried and it works fine for me.

Hmmm... I used your code and file in my project and the same thing happened BUT then tried both yours and my code and file in a NEW project and both showed up in the toolbox correctly.

So I'm at least making progress, thanks!

Some setting must be off in my actual project. Any ideas?
