Hello,
I have had to reinstall all Visual Studio versions after some strange behavior, installation was somehow corrupted, VS installers haven't seen any VS versions installed (but they was working almost normally), so I have had to reinstall it, uninstall it manually by InstallCleanup.exe first, and then install VS2019 and VS2022 again. So much for context.
I have installed Telerik for WinForm then and I don't see any Telerik controls in toolbox. I reinstalled Telerik twice, also tried to use Toolbox Configurator, selected .NET4.0 version, but without success. I have the same problem on both VS2019 and 2022. Can you help me please?

Hello, Marian,
Usually, the Telerik UI for WinForms controls are automatically added to Visual Studio's Toolbox during installation:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/installation-and-upgrades/installing-on-your-computer
If however they do not appear in the toolbox after the installation, you can do this manually. There are two ways to manually add Telerik UI for WinForms to the Toolbox in your Visual Studio: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/visual-studio-integration/adding-radcontrols-to-visual-studio-toolbox
This article is relevant when using .NET Framework. For .NET Core or newer versions, please refer to NET Core Toolbox Version.
Another thing to try is to reset the Visual Studio Toolbox by right-clicking on it and select Reset Toolbox option:
An alternative approach is to:
- Close all Visual Studio instances.
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_ (e.g. VS 2017). Note that you might have several such folders according to the Visual Studio versions that are installed.
- Make sure that the option 'Show hidden files, folders and drives' is selected in the Windows Explorer options.
- Delete all *.tbd files.
- Start Visual Studio 2017 and check if the issue still persists.
If there is no Telerik controls in toolbox please use Toolbox Configuration Wizard to set them.
Please give the suggested approaches a try and see how it works on your end.

Hallo Marian,
We need more information. Visual Studio toolbox can hide toolbox items if there is target framework/designer incompatibility or there are errors. To check that out please, open the designer and choose "Show All" in the toolbox window.
If the Telerik controls are not available when "Show All" is selected, we will need a Visual Studio activity log to investigate. Here is how to generate one:
- Close Visual Studio 2019.
- Launch Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019.
- Execute devenv /log "%USERPROFILE%\MyVSLog.xml" command to start Visual Studio with log.
- Open your project and a designer.
- Open Visual Studio toolbox window.
The log file will be generated in your user folder.
