.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / July 2006Add tabs/items to Visual Studio Toolbox
Is there a small command-line utility that can be run from an installer to add tabs and items to the Visual Studio Toolbox? It needs to work with both Visual Studio 2005 and 2003. Please don't ask me to download the 185MB VSIP SDK. I've seen some sample code on CodeProject, but it only works for 2003 and there are complaints about its reliability. Thank you!

So you could get the DTE instance, get its ToolBox toolwindow, get its EnvDTE.ToolBox object and add tabs to it.
