[RESOLVED] All toolbox options are grayed out???

[blakemckenna]

I'm trying to start a new mobile application. This is the first time I've tried this using Visual Studio 2008. When I have my form up in design mode, their are no toolbox options available. They're all grayed out. What do I need to do?

Thanks,

Hey Blake,

Can you show a screen shot? I can't say that I have seen this happen before, unless the controls are for the .Net Framework, rather than the .Net Compact Framework, but Visual Studio should take care of this for you.

What type of project did you start?

Gary,

For some reason, I tried creating a new project on my desktop machine running XP and it worked fine. I need to see what's up with my laptop running Vista....

Thanks,

Hmmm, that is quite strange. Can't say I have seen that before, but also, I have never used Visual Studio on Vista

It's seems to run ok on Vista. I haven't really noticed anthing unusual as to where I need to install anything special. I'll try a few things and see what happens.

Thanks Gary!
