Toolbox
The Toolbox displays a variety of items for use in Visual Studio projects . The tabs and items available from the Toolbox change, depending upon the designer or editor currently in use . The items available can include .NET components, COM components, HTML objects, code fragments, and text. You can access the Toolbox from the View menu.
The Toolbox always displays two tabs, a General tab and a Clipboard Ring tab. As you open an editor or designer, other tabs and tools are displayed. You also can add your own custom tabs and tools to the Toolbox. For more information, see Using the Toolbox and Managing Tabs and Items in the Toolbox.
