Krypton Toolkit

Krypton used to be a purchase item, but now it's displayed on Github for personal and commercial projects.I'm using Visual Studio 2012 and the components seems to work in this version as I quote:Full source code for all the controls and components is included alongwith Visual Studio project and solution files for 2005, 2008 and 2010versions of Visual Studio. If you are using a newer version of VisualStudio you can still load the solutions and it will compile just fine.I have download the github files and I have a bunch of dll files.

I have added those dll files into my Visual Studio Toolbox.What happens is that the items are added successfull but when I drag and drop them into the form they do not appear. I have tried the Buttons, DataGridViews, etc, none of them work.The project shows no error when I run.what am I missing?

Krypton Suite of.NET WinForms ControlsThe Krypton Suite of.NET WinForms controls are now freely available for use in personal or commerical projects.I developed and sold them from my company Component Factory from 2006 until 2014, when the lack of sales meant selling the controls was no longer viable. So I decided to make them open source so that.NET developers had a good set of free controls to use in their projects. Full source code for all the controls and components is included along with Visual Studio projects and solution files. Getting StartedBin directory contains already compiled copies of all the example projects and the Krypton assemblies, so I recommend you start by running the Krypton Explorer application in this directory. It lists all the controls along with example applications used to show them in operation. DocumentationHelp directory contains a KryptonHelp.chm file that can be double clicked to open the documentation. I recommend you read this before developing using the Krypton controls.

Using with Visual Studio. Start Visual Studio and create/open your Windows Forms project. Open the main Form of your application and show the Toolbox. Right click the Toolbox and Add Tab, give it the name Krypton. Right click inside the new tab and select Choose items.
