Running the NetAdvantage Toolbox Installer

When running the installers for the NetAdvantage tools, the Toolbox items should appear automatically. If for some reason after an install you do not see the appropriate toolbox items in Visual Studio, then you must run the utility “Create Toolbox Tab for CLR {Version}”. The utility is easily found in the All Programs menu:

    Start > All Programs > Infragistics > NetAdvantage {Version} > {Product} > Utilities > Create Toolbox Tab for CLR {Version}

Here is a screenshot of what the path will look like running the utility for NetAdvantage 10.2 ASP.NET for CLR 4.0:

Once you have found this shortcut the hard part is over. Now just right-click on the appropriate shortcut for CLR version(s) you need toolbox items for and run the utility as an Administrator.

When the toolbox utility launches, the first operation is to remove any existing toolbox items loaded into Visual Studio for the selected version of NetAdvantage and the CLR.

Next, the utility creates the toolbox section and loads in individual toolbox items:

When this is complete you are notified:

Now when you open Visual Studio you should see the new toolbox section and all the items available.

I can't find the Utility short cut in the start menu.  I installed the NetAdvantage_WebClient_20101.exe but it didn't install the toolbox utility.  Any suggestions?

Hm... I'm not sure. The only thing I can think of is perhaps try reinstalling under an administrative account. Let me know how it goes...

If you don't see the shortcuts in the Start menu, try looking for the Utilities in this location:

C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2010.2\ASP.NET\Toolbox Utility

The other option you may consider is to search the Start Menu for 'Toolbox'. That way just in case you missed it in the tree it should appear in the results if it installed correctly.
