Hello @JohnCTX , welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. I agree with @Karen Payne MVP and you can also check this answer: How do I add my new User Control to the Toolbox or a new Winform?.

If the project that contains the user controls and custom controls is included to your solution and there are no compilation errors, then the controls will be added to toolbox automatically.

Hello,

With the Toolbox showing

Right click on the toolbox on a tab to add a DLL generated by a class project

Select "Choose Item" to add a DLL to the current tab or first create a tab

Browse for the DLL and follow the prompts.
