Hi peter9

if the project includes your custom DataGrid control be in the same solution that would use the Custom Control,

if you build the solution ,vs would add any custom controls you desgin to the toolbox,so you can drag the control from toolbox to designer as the general controls .net frameworks provides.

otherwise, you just only have .dll assembly file include the Custom DataGrid control you wanted. you can Right Click the ToolBox .and the click the Context Menu Item named Choose Item... ,

and then browse to the .dll assmbly file, so any controls in the assembly would be add to the toolbox.

have a nice day.
