Walkthrough: Authoring a User Control with Visual C#

I was attempting to create a user control & was following the example on MSDN @ http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbwlkWalkthroughCreatingUserControlWithVisualC.asp

When I get to part Testing Your Control:To create a test project, #4, I did not find the control project ctlClockLib in the window. Instead I did a browse & selected the ctlClockLib.dll, I guess this was the correct thing to do, & then it showed up as the first Item under the Reference folder.

Why wasn't it in the window as MSDN suggest?

#5 states in a note that the "project now appears in the Selected Componants window". What is the Selected componants window?

Then when I go To test your control, it says to look in the My User Controls ..., I don't have this drop down in my Toolbox, why?

Thanks, I may have more questions once these ones are answered.

Hello All.

Steven:

Since you didn't say, I'm going to assume you are using C# Express Edition. Roughly 98% of the docs are for Standard edtion or higher. You will find that there is a lot of stuff that won't apply to the Express Edition.

Hope this helps.
