    You say "as usual", but in fact very many of the components on CodeProject are available in source code form. And the original poster said he got the component from CodeProject. So it's not a foregone conclusion that it will be in a DLL.

    If you have the source, as you often will from CodeProject, it's usually preferable to add that code to your project rather than packaging it as a separate DLL. Putting it into a separate DLL complicates deployment, as you've now got an extra file to ship. So if you have the choice, in most scenarios you'll want to add the source to your project.

    Right-click the toolbar and click "Choose items". It takes a while. Click the Browse button and navigate to the component's DLL.

    As usual,the 3rd part component included in DLL,and when you need to use it ,add the dll to the tool box is required.

    It depends on what form the code is in.

    If you got it from Code Project, this presumably means you've got the source code In that case, you could just add the source code directly to your project. That way, the code becomes a part of your project just like any code you added yourself.

    If the code has been distributed as a DLL, then you would use Visual Studio's 'Add Reference' feature to add a reference from your project to the DLL. (You use this by right-clicking on the References in the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio.)

    What do you have Source code A DLL
