I installed DevExpress v2011 vol 1 on my Win7-32 Home Premium computer running Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express.

The DevExpress controls do not appear in the ToolBox. I tried running the ToolboxCreator program with logging, and it resulted in:

  • VS 2005 not found
  • VS 2008 not found
  • VS 2010 not found

It looks like I can manually add DevExpress controls to the ToolBox by doing the “Choose Items…” method and selecting a DevExpress tool, but that’s a lot of controls, and even though I specified to only install the WinForm controls, it looks like a lot of web controls are there, too.

Is this the way I have to do it, or is there a better way?

    It seems like this is a known problem according this post. The post acknowledges issues with VS Express, and links to this support article. Unfortunately, it says:

    It is possible to use our ASP.NET and WinForms products in Express Editions, but you will have to manually add the required product items to your Toolbox. This can be done via the “Choose Items…” command of the Toolbox’ context menu as described bellow.

    So, sorry, there doesn’t seem to be an easier way; I am guessing DevExpress themselves would be suggesting it if there were.
