>I just got done reading the thread on subclassing .NET base classes. Although I'm attempting to put a copy of all form controls into one class library, I can't seem to get them to be properly visible to my forms.

>Can someone here give that a shot? I have a DLL (Assembly) created, can even get the controls into the toolbox but they won't drop on a form. I get a message about not referencing an object or some such thing.

>Please start right with subclassing oh say a textbox and a button into one BaseFormControls class library, build it, associate it to another project where the forms will be, and create a toolbox where all of these controls can be placed so I only need to drag and drop them on a form.
