I had Visual Studio 2012 and Devexpress 16.2.3. Now I installed VS Community 2017 RC, after that I 'Repaired' installation of Devs, but menu and dev toolbox is still missing. I tried to deinstall and install again, restart computer, but still no luck. In VS2012 menu and toolbox is working.

I suggest you to go through this DevExpress thread - VS 2017 RC - Missing toolbox items and DevExpress menu item. It has relevant information to your issue as below:

You first re-install DevExpress v16.2 in Repair mode. It also may be necessary to perform additional steps as explained in the How to resolve issues with Toolbox items article. If the problem persists, please provide the logs from the ToolboxAnalyzer tool and the DevExpress menu (How to collect the “DevExpress” menu diagnostic logs) for research.

Currently, support for Visual Studio 2017 RC is added to versions 16.1 and 16.2. Please review the Using Visual Studio 2017 RC with DevExpress: some caution needed blog post for more information.

Hope this help.

I've just installed DXperienceXaf-10.1.7, but the controls do not appear in the VS 2010 toolbox, neither do they show in the VS 2008 toolbox. I have run ToolboxCreator from the 'start menu' shortcut to no avail. This is on Windows 7.

Is there a fix for this? If not, how do I manually add them? There seem to be a zillion dll files.

You can manually add them by creating a new DevExpress Toolbox Tab and dragging all the DLLs from

'C:Program Files (x86)DevExpress 2010.1ComponentsSourcesDevExpress.DLL'

Remove (x86) for a 32 bit Windows installation.

Hope that helps!

Introduction To Visual Studio

Although question quite old, I often get this problem when installing a DevExpress upgrade. Steps to get it working are:

• 'Repair' the DevExpress installation
• Run the Toolbox Creator from the Start Menu

Also one thing I noticed with this version is that the toolbox only seems to appear on .Net Framwork 3.5 and above web projects.

Had this issue with Dev Express v2011 vol 2.

DevExpress Controls not showing up (disable) in Visual Studio toolbox:

This issue was caused by the application Target Framework being set to .Net Framework 2.0

once the Target Framework was changed to 4.0, the controls became available in the Toolbox.

To change the Target Framework in Visual Studio : For VB.net:

1. Right click the project in the Solution Explorer and click Properties..
2. On the Compile tab, click the Advanced Compile Options.. button
3. Change the Target framework (all configurations) to .NET Framework 4.

For C# .net:

1. Right click the project in the Solution Explorer and click Properties..
2. Click the Application tab and change the Target framework to .NET Framework 4.

After that you need to repair toolbox by right clicking on toolbox tab, where controls exist. Visual Studio will close automatically and will reopen after some configuration will apply. Now you will find all devExpress Controls available on toolbox.

Thank you..

One has Nvidia video the other Intel. Hi, I have upgraded two e6400 from Win7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. Dell e6500 windows 10 bluetooth. Both have 4 Gig Ram & 500gb HD. Blue Tooth was the only driver I needed to source from another supplier. I did have to reinstall the Dell Webcam Central Program & Mouse Pad Drivers.

I would suggest that you grab the installation's log (it should be positioned near the installer) and send it to the devexpress by creating a new ticket in the support center. We will research why the problem appears using it and let you know what causes this issue.

Here is the basic steps to display DevExpress toolbar; for beginners.Select View > Toolbox. Select anywhere on the toolbox and right click and select Add Tab. You need to name this tab. Right click on this new group, select Choose Items. A dialog box appears and it might take a while to load the components. If DevExpress components are not present here, click on Browse and select the dll files. This will add all the items to the new group.
