I have a .NET Windows Control written (project template Windows Control
Library). I would like to use it on my custom form, but don't know how
to make it visible on Component Toolbox. Is it possible? How to do it?

Have you registered it on your computer? It should appear in the list of
available objects just like all the other type libraries and controls that
are registered on your computer. Are you not recognizing its registered
name?

I forgot to write, that I want to use in on _Outlook_ custom form. I
have found, that Outlook can use only COM/ActiveX controls - so I must
compile/register it for dual use. But I have problem with finding how to
do it :-( (I'm .NET newbie, if it is not obvious :) ).

Jay B. Harlow, our resident .net expert suggested the following:

This article discusses one method, however I have not actually tested it.

That URL may be garbled by the fixed line-lengths used by my news client.
Reconstruct it very carefully in a very wide Notepad or Word that shows the
cr-lf characters.
