VS2005 ToolBox Behavior

I have a couple of questions related to the VS2005 ToolBox. It appears
that VS2005 automatically adds any controls or components found in the
current solution, which is different that VS2003, in which you had to
explicitly add them.

If you, for example, add a property to a custom control, when does it
show up in the designer? Is this different in VS2003 and VS2005?

Is there any way to tell VS2005 not to automatically add controls in
the current solution to the ToolBox?

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your post!

No, in VS.net2003, if you added a UserControl to the current project, it
will appear in the ToolBox. You can give this a check.

You can turn off this feature in VS2005 IDE Tools-> Options-> Windows Forms
Designer-> General-> AutoToolBoxPopulate option.

Note: you must restart the IDE to make it take effect.

Hope this helps!
