The only item I have in the toolbox in VS 2008 is Entity. Isn't there supposed to be a few more objects I can drag on to the designer? Associations, Procedures etc... I know how to customize the toolbox, but I can't seem to find any dll's that contain Toolbox controls. |

Yes, there should be about half a dozen more, and they should be added automatically to the toolbox (and because of the way the toolkit we use for the designer works, I don't think you'll be able to add them by hand via the customisation dialog). We've not seen this before and I'm not sure what could be going on. Could you try uninstalling LightSpeed, verifying that the GAC does not contain any DLLs beginning with "Mindscape.LightSpeed.Generator..." and then reinstalling LightSpeed? If that doesn't help, can you let us know which version of LightSpeed you are using (2.2 RTM or a nightly build), and could you also let us know the service pack and patch level of your copy of Visual Studio (do a Help > About, choose Copy Info and paste it in or attach it as a text file via the Options tab). Could you also do a Tools > Import and Export Settings > Export Settings, and select the General Settings > Toolbox category for your export. Thanks! |

I reinstalled and now there are no controls in the toolbox - even Entity is gone. I am attaching my exported VS settings. Version info is below.

Sorry for the delay in following this up. Unfortunately we're pretty much stumped as to what might be going on here. The only thing we can suggest is checking in Control Panel in case you have two versions of LightSpeed installed side by side, as there is an issue by which this can happen when upgrading from 2.2 RTM to a nightly build. We've never seen this cause the "empty toolbox" symptom but it's the only thing we can think of. If this is the case, please uninstall both copies, then reinstall from the nightly build. |

I have a modest proposal. Way to find what might be going wrong: devriejd could send to Mindscape snapshot of his machine made by VMware. |

I just had the same problem (VS 2008, LS 2.2 RTM) after installing the SQLite ADO.NET 2.0/3.5 Provider. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling both items (LS and provider) in different combinations, but no success, until I (should have tried it first, I know) right-clicked the toolbox and selected Reset Toolbox. This brought back all my Lightspeed toolbox items.
Hope this helps,
Robert :-)
