Hi everyone,

After successfully wrestling with getting my components into the toolbox (with an icon - now THAT was an ordeal ;-) ) - I'm trying to create a component that can be dragged and dropped onto a form, but not as a control.  I want the item to appear under the form on the panel where datasets, bindingsources etc. are displayed. 

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to do this?

Thank you for any assistance,

Kearnsy

All the controls you mentioned are Components.

Derive your class from System.ComponentModel.Component.

Hi Kearnsy,
