Ftp Vomponents are not acceptable from toolbox

Question

Please help!
I install evaluation copy of edtftpnetexpress. I want to build UI with FTP component.
I can see EXFTPConnection FTPController and other components in my toobox but they are all gray - I cannot select them.
I use Visual Studio 2005.

Answer 1

You need to create a form before they are usable.

Answer 2

I do have a form and they are still not usable - if I click on toolbox and choose option "Show All" - I can see them under tab FTP - but they are not selectable.

Answer 3

Try uninstalling and reinstalling. As soon as a form is selected in design mode, you should be able to select the FTP components.

Please let us know if that doesn't work.

Answer 4

By the way, the GUI controls only work with Windows Forms. They don't work with ASP.NET Web Forms, though you can use ExFTPConnection with Web Forms since it is non-visual.
