ComponentOne TabStrip for ASP.NET AJAX: ComponentOne TabStrip for ASP.NET AJAX Overview > Adding the ASP.NET Components to a Project

Adding the ASP.NET Components to a Project

When you install ComponentOne Studio for ASP.NET AJAX, the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio Toolbox Tab check box is checked, by default, in the installation wizard. When you open Visual Studio 2005, you will notice a ComponentOne Studio for ASP.NET AJAX Projects tab containing the ComponentOne controls that have automatically been added to the Toolbox.

If you decide to uncheck the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox Tab check box during installation, you can manually add ComponentOne controls to the Toolbox at a later time.
