I can't get the control builders to appear in Visual Studio 2008. The only application that I've seen that configures your controls any more than the standard VS dialogs is the Menu Builder, but that doesn't seem cover the TreeView control or HTML editor. How to do open them in Visual Studio?

Hi,

You will need to add them to your Visual Studio's toolbox first:

Once you have them in the toolbox, you would simply drag and drop the control from your toolbox to your form.

Thanks!

I've done that and I can drag and drop them into the forms. Is that that the extent of the integration? I thought there was wizard-like program for configuring them. Am I incorrect?

There are. You need to right click the control to "edit" it. For example, if you right click the Grid you should see "Edit Grid..." in the context menu.

Great, thanks! It never occurred to me to check in the Design view, I usually work strictly in code.
