Hello again Bonnie! I've tried all that with no results. I finally gave up and started a new project and made the class again from scratch, thanks God this is only part of my learning experience :), after coding the new class I realized that only objects added by code appear in the designer when I create a new form and not those I drag from the toolbox. Is this the normal behavior?

>Hmmm ... I would have thought that copying the new version of the DLL into the bin folder would have solved the problem. But of course, one has to wonder why you had an old version in there to begin with ... the project is referenced so it should have been keeping the up-to-date DLL in the bin.

>I've occasionally had similar un-explained problems. Try removing the reference and adding it back in again. Also, try leaving Visual Studio and starting back up again (and/or rebooting your PC).

>>Thanks for your reply Bonnie. I've checked your suggestion and the "Copy Local" is set to true. I've also checked the actual bin folder of the project and the only difference I could notice was the DLL there was an outdated version. I copied the new version and even rebuild the project but the results are still the same.

>>>The problem is most likely that the DLL is not copied to the bin folder of whatever project is referencing it. In the Solution Explorer, right-click on the project references and choose Properties for the referenced class library. "Copy Local" should be set to true. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'll have to think about it a bit more.
