Hi,

My controls inherits from System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox,
After i build the project, i cannot find it on
the toolbox. I find the toolbox automatically adds
usercontrols. Why not inherits controls?

Add a usercontrol, compile the project, adapt the 'Inherits...' line to make
the control inherit from 'ComboBox' and remove unnecessary parts of the
control's implementation.

But if i reset the toolbox and rebuild the project, all
the direct-derived control are missing.

This method cannot be "Reset" ?

Those kind have to be added manually to the Toolbox, by browsing to a dll.
Best to keep them in a separate class library project.
