    Please try the following

    1. Close Visual Studio (make sure devenv.exe is not running).

    2. Open the folder c:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0.

    3. There should be four files ending in .tbd (they may be hidden, so you'll have to set your options to show hidden folders and files). Delete them.

    4. Start VS again.

    Please right click on toolbox, select "Show all" option. If that's not working, right click on toolbox, select "Reset Toolbox".

    I'm having the same problem. Some controls are greyed out, I have no idea why. I'd really like to drag and drop SQLcommand to the designer. When I input my storedproc in VS 2003, it autogenerates all my params based on the SP. huge timesaver for me.
