Controls from Shell MegaPack are automatically added to the Visual Studio Toolbox during installation. However, they are not automatically added to the Express editions of Visual Studio (Visual Basic Express, Visual C# Express, etc). In this case, you need to add the controls to the toolbox manually as follows :
    1. Select the toolbox tab where you would like the controls to be added.

    2. Right click on the toolbox and select the "Choose Items..." option ("Add/Remove Items.." in Visual Studio.Net 2003, "Customize Toolbox..." in Visual Studio 2002). This should launch the "Choose Toolbox Items" dialog ("Customize Toolbox" dialog in Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010/2012).

    3. Select the ".NET" tab and select the desired component (e.g. FolderView or FileView). The complete list of components in Shell MegaPack is : FolderView, FileView, ShComboBox, ShellLink, UrlLink, ShellNotifyIcon, ShellPopupNotification, ShellAppBar, TaskScheduler, TaskDialog, Resizer, SystemHotKey, Wizard, SingleInstanceComponent, ShellFileOperation, SystemIdleTimer, ShellProgressDialog, ShellTaskBar, ShellUtils and SystemHook

    4. Click on the "OK" button.


The controls will now be added to the toolbox. You can double-click on any control to add it to your form.

Alternate way
You can also drag-drop the control dll files to the toolbox as follows :

    1. Make sure that the toolbox in Visual Studio is visible.

    2. Browse to the LogicNP.FileView.dll file in the installation folder (which is by default "C:\Program Files\LogicNP Software\Shell MegaPack.Net 2012\FileView.Net Control 2012").

    3. Drag-drop the LogicNP.FileView.dll from the folder to the toolbox.

    4. Repeat the above steps for LogicNP.FolderView.dll, LogicNP.ShComboBox.dll and LogicNP.ShellObjects.dll files, which are found their respective folders under the default installation folder ("C:\Program Files\LogicNP Software\Shell MegaPack.Net 2012").

Note
The above procedure also works in the Standard, Professional and Enterprise editions of Visual Studio. If, for some reason, the Shell MegaPack installation does not add controls to the toolbox of the Standard, Professional and Enterprise editions, you can perform the above procedure to add them manually to the toolbox.
