In Visual Studio 2008, all items in the toolbar are grayed out

All my controls are greyed out in the toolbox when I open my Winform project. I already reinstalled VS2008 and tried all the steps mentioned here but nothing:

If it might be related when reinstalling VS2008, I am having problems installing .net Framework 3.5, it complained about the lack of .NET 2.0SP1. I decided to install it .net Framework 3.5 SP1 and then VS2008. At the moment I am trying to install .NET Framework 2.0SP1, but it doesn’t work: the setup stops and shows "install error" what it is. I don't know if these problems are related.

Start from scratch and try again (since .NET 2.0)



  • .NET 2.0 (further SP1)
  • .NET 3.0 (don't remember if you need it before 3.5 or not)
  • .NET 3.5
  • Visual Studio 2008

I had the same problem and solved it by deleting the files *.tbd

in that folder:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VCSExpress\<version>

open package in BID. Then the control flow items will be displayed. all other elements (for example, tak data stream) will be grayed out Drag the control. For example, if you drag and drop a data flow task and then edit it. The toolbar will now display destinations and data transformations. This means that the BID will show control flow items if the control flow tab is active. then you can drag and drop control flow items and edit it to add any task based on the control flow task you added
