I've created a console application that adds toolbox controls to Visual
Studio 2005 using automation. However--correct me if I'm wrong--this method
is not possible with Visual Web Developer Express.
Instead of this I am now modifying the user's settings file to add the
controls, and have run into a couple problems. The first problem is that
the controls added to the settings file are reappearing when I reset the
toolbox. Second is that the same code which successfully adds controls to
the Visual Studio 2005 toolbox adds broken controls to the Visual Web
Developer Express toolbox (Broken, as in the icons are wrong and the item
data is pasted as text when a control is dragged into the editor).
Is there any documentation on this, or any reliable alterior method of
adding controls to the Visual Web Developer Express toolbox? I have
searched and found none.
Thanks,
Steve

The first problem was from using the devenv.exe /ResetSettings flag.
