Dude! Where is my components tab in Visual Studio 2008?

Are you kidding me! I need to add COM components to my toolbox in Visual Studio 2008 but hey I can't because there is no freaking components tab. If I view all the tabs I can see the components tab but then all the items in that tab are disabled. I am using Web Application for this purpose. It seems like Visual Studio.NET 2008 is impressed by Windows Vista where their philosophy is "Hide Everything!".

I am still not able to add my custom activeX componets to my custom tab or to the components tab.

PS: Yeah Microsoft! I know this is a featuuuuuuuurreeee!

Hey Mohammad,

I'm not seeing that. My COM tab is there and I can add items from it. You might want to try a repair maybe? Did you have B2 installed before?

Cheers,

ET

Hi,

I installed VS 2008 on a fresh machine.
