Hi,

When creating a webform, in the toolbox, tab LLBLGen, there used to be two icons representing general LLBLGenDatasources (self servicing and adapter).

On my machine the tab is gone and the icons are missing. How can these be restored?

I'm currently running LLBLGen 4.1 latest release and asp.net 4.5.

Best regards,

Jan

Hi,

Via Choose Items I was able to find it.

VS drives me nuts.... Every now and then the toolbox is missing tabs.

vs.net only shows the web controls when a web form is active. So if you just have a code file open at that moment, the tabs are gone. Did that happen to you?

It is missing when I have the web form open (in design mode and in source mode).

I'm also using other control libraries that were also missing. Those I was able to restore because these products have a function "Add controls to VS Toolbox"

For LLBLGen I used to drop a dll on the tab. I think it was the ORM dll, but that no longer seems to work.

They're now in a separate dll, due to the .net client profile requirement (which MS luckily got rid of with .net 4.5), the ormsupportclasses.web.dll.
