Visual Studio C# Toolbox Not Working On Windows Forms Application

I am new to 开发者_开发问答Visual Studio in general, but i am having issues with creating even the most basic Windows Forms Applications in Visual Studio C#. I have researched my error around the internet and have found nothing, and i am wondering if i missed something in installation of Visual Studio C#. Whenever i try to add something from the toolbox into the Application, i get an error like this (Keep in mind I am new to this so don't come down on me too hard in the responses if its a simple issue.): Failed to create component 'Component' (It says 'Component' each time, no matter what I attempt to create in the application.). The Error message follows: 'The toolbox item could not be retrieved from the toolbox. Make sure that the assembly that contains the toolbox is correctly installed (What does this mean). The toolbox item raised the following error: The toolbox item cannot be deserialized due to lack of serializer.

See if either of the suggestions listed on this page (under the Workarounds tab) help.

Especially the suggestion to right click inside the toolbox and select the "Reset Toolbox" option. If you had anything special installed, this will probably remove it, but it sounds like you're just getting into things so hopefully the only result is that you'll actually be able to use the toolbox and not get the error. :)

Edit:

Okay, let's try something else. Close out of Visual Studio, go into your app data directory on the hard drive (most easily found by just typing %appdata% in the address bar and pressing enter) and look for Microsoft/VisualStudio/10.0 and then rename 10.0 to 10.0b or something. Open a command prompt and navigate to c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 10.0\common7\ide. Once there, try running:

devenv /setup
devenv /resetsettings

Reopen VS2010 and see if the toolbox is still misbehaving.
