I think I'm getting close to a solution. More endless hours of searching I found that this is a bug in VS 2005 and supposedly fixed in VS 2008 from this link. https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=144156&wa=wsignin1.0
This other link details changing the AutoToolbarPopulate option to true (why it's not 'true' by default is beyond me). This didn't help me. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fw694kde(VS.80).aspx If I add my .dll assembly to the Toolbox the controls do show but when I use them in another control I get no errors but conflict warnings: "The type 'FooControl' in 'D:\FooControl.cs' conflicts with the imported type 'FooControl' in 'D:\debug\FooControl.dll'. Using the one in 'FooControl.cs'. To me it reads that it is seeing the control without the need of including it in the Toolbox. But why the controls still will not display is unanswered.
