Installing into VS Toolbox

Working with FastReport.Net packages Toolbox is included in the package and should be automatically loaded by Visual Studio. Manual installation of Toolbox is also possible.

To add manually FastReport .NET components to the Visual Studio toolbox, you need to do the following steps:

• delete the "FastReport .NET" tab from the Toolbox, if it is there;
• create a new tab (to do this, right-click the Toolbox and select "Add Tab" item), or select an existing tab you would like to add FastReport components to;
• right-click on a tab and select "Choose Items...":

• in the dialog, press the "Browse..." button and choose FastReport.dll, FastReport.Web.dll files (they are located in the \Framework folder in the main directory of FastReport .NET, for example, "C:\Program Files\FastReports\FastReport .NET Professional\Framework");
• close the dialog with OK button.

After this, you will see FastReport .NET components in a chosen tab:

• Report;
• PreviewControl;
• DesignerControl;
• EnvironmentSettings;
• WebReport (this component will be visible in ASP.NET project only).
