Installing to toolbox in VS 2013

I've just upgraded from VS 2010 to VS 2013 and I am having problems adding MindFusion controls to the toolbox.  I can add them using drag and drop from Windows Explorer, but the controls are all disabled (greyed out).  I am using version 5.3.5 of Diagramming for WinForms (Pro).  My application targets .NET 3.5

Any help gratefully received.

You should drag assemblies from the "VS2008 (.NET 3.5)" folder if your project's target framework is .NET 3.5. I can see grayed controls when I drag assemblies from "VS2010 (.NET 4.0)" folder.

This is what I did.  I have tried again and I still get greyed out controls.

It works in my test. Try removing all old mindfusion.* items from the toolbox or using the Reset Toolbox command from context menu before dragging again, in case there's conflict with a different version of the assemblies you had dragged earlier. Alternatively try adding the controls using the Choose Items menu command.

This works OK if the target framework is .NET 4. If it's .NET 3.5 it does not work. (Screenshot attached) I guess I could change my application's target framework everytime I need to add a control - not ideal, but it is a workaround!

I have found the solution by looking back at an issue I had bookmarked some years ago...

http://mindfusion.eu/Forum/YaBB.pl?board=fcnet_disc;action=display;num=129225448...

This solves the problem. Lucky I had bookmarked it - I don't think it is still possible to search back that far.
