Kevin:
Got to take a few minutes today and get back to this problem. When I was trying to browse to the assembly and load it into the the list of .NET components by browsing, so I could put it in the toolbar, I'd get an error dialog. I read it carefully and noticed that it was trying to get DevExpress.Utils.V7.1 Version=7.1.1.0 and the version that was downloaded from the website was 7.1.3.0. Soooo I compiled the control all over again pointing to the new assemblies and generated a new key pair and looks like everything is ready to go. You might double check the version on the web site, I probably just got my versions a little out of sync. Thanks for your continued help!
