I have just installed VS 2005, and I am trying to add dateTime Picker to the form, but this item is greyed out.
How do you activate greyed-out items in a toolbox tab?
Thank You,

I have created a web form, and it's in the design-view mode.
I see dateTime Picker under "Common Control" tab, but it is still inactive.
Is this control available for web forms?
How do you check the version of the tool, and how do you update them?
Thank you,
Kamal
only web form controls will be available to the web forms designer...you can customize the toolbox and check version etc by right clicking on the toolbox and selecting *Choose Items*...

The components you are looking at are for windows forms only. You must have selected the option to SHOW ALL in the toolbox. Select that again to hide the tools that you cannot use.
You can only use web controls on a web project, oddly enough.

I think this is a bug in VS2005. In my case, I fix this by opening the toolbox, right-clicking somewhere on its surface and un-checking 'Show All'. I think there is some broken logic in the toolbox tool strip wherein if some of the objects are to be disabled, all of them inavertantly become disabled.
Regards.
