Component Dropper is a component that resides in the toolbox of VS.NET and enables you to choose a component (controls, datasets, providers, components, etc.) from the assemblies that are referenced in the current project.

In Visual Studio .NET you can auto populate the controls in the toolbox by setting the AutoToolboxPopulate property to true in menu Tools -> Options -> Windows Forms Designer.

Component Dropper is an alternative way for dropping a component on the designer surface. It gives you a dialog with all the components that reside in the assemblies that are referenced in the current project. This means that it is not limited to the assemblies that reside in the current solution. This way you can easily browse and search throughout the assemblies and controls, this is very handy if you have bunch of assemblies and controls. There is never a need to refresh the toolbox, because it dynamically searches throughout the references in the current project.

There is also a demo (1.11 Mb) that illustrates the use of Component Dropper. Note that the demo uses an older version of Component Dropper, namely version 0.5, and it's not an VS add-in anymore.

If after installation you don't see the component dropper appearing in the toolbox, you can simply drag-and-drop the IStaySharp.RazorToolbox.dll to the toolbox.
Any suggestions or remarks are welcome!
