MySQL components are GREYED OUT in the Toolbox for ASP project?

MySQL components show in the Toolbox but are GREYED OUT and unavailable. I followed the instructions in the manual to create a tab and then add the MySQL items to the tab.
The regular DATA components that ship with VS.NET 2005 are available when designing an ASP 2.0 form.
Why is this?
I've tried rebuilding the Toolbox item many times and re-adding the MySQL components, but they just won't show?
Thank you

Make sure you're in Component Designer view. Do not confuse with Designer view. To switch between views use context menu of .aspx file in Solution Explorer. Note that in VWD Component Designer view is not available.
