I have used the ajaxtoolkit with .NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010, and I was able to add a new tab to the toolbox and add the ajaxtoolkit controls to the toolbox. How do I do this in Visual Studio 2012?

I have added the ajaxtoolkit with NuGet, but I would like to see the controls in the toolbox, so I can drag the controls in. How is this done?

It's located in the packages folder created by Visual Studio 2012 after you use NuGet Package Manager to download it.

Create a tab in Visual Studio (you can name it Ajax Toolkit).

Right click on it and select: Choose Items..

Click Browse and navigate to the packages folder that Visual Studio 2012 creates with your source. Something like this: ..\packages\AjaxControlToolkit.7.0123\lib\40\AjaxControlToolkit.dll

Select AjaxControlToolKit.
