Unable to use MySQL developer tools

Hi,

I recently downloaded the developer tools and installed it onto my VS2005. Problem is I can't seem to use any of the MySQL drag and drop tools from the toolbox.

Corelab.MySQL has already been added into my global assembly cache and I don't have any problems calling the methods programatically. But I can't use the drag and drop components. In fact, I can't even see the components unless i select the "Show All" option for the toolbox. And even then, the MySQL components are all greyed out.

Is there something that I missed?

Do you write class library (dll), executable application (exe), web project,
web project with dynamically compiled sources?
Make sure you are in the Designer view (Component Designer view for web projects).

Thanks for the tip. I'm encountering another problem now.. I've just installed the licensed version of the developer tools after the trial version expired. But now the mysqldataadapters connections etc are not installed in my VS2005.

I've checked my global assembly cache and the corelabs.mysql.dll and corelabs.mysql.web.dll are not found in there. And in the installed developer tools files, I could not find the assemblies as well..

Is this right?

You couldn't find MySQLDirect .NET assemblies. Am I correctly understand you?
MySQL Developer Tools and MySQLDirect .NET are two different products you need to install both of them.
