When you install ComponentOne Studio for WinForms, the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio Toolbox Tab checkbox is checked, by default, in the installation wizard.  When you open Visual Studio, you will notice a ComponentOne Studio for WinForms tab containing the ComponentOne controls has automatically been added to the Toolbox.

If you decide to uncheck the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio Toolbox Tab checkbox during installation, you can manually add ComponentOne controls to the Toolbox at a later time.

XmlEditor for WinForms provides the following controls:

•      C1XmlEditor

•      C1XmlEditorToolStripMain

•      C1XmlEditorToolStripObjects

•      C1XmlEditorToolStripStyle

•      C1XmlEditorToolStripTable

To use these controls, add them to the form or add a reference to the C1.Win.C1XmlEditor assembly to your project.
