Title: Not All Drivers Showing In ToolBox
Post by: Archie on April 21, 2016, 01:41:19 PM

This is an issue with Visual Studio 2015 that seems to occur randomly. For me it has come and gone. I have reported to Microsoft as a bug. If you have also seen this same problem, please vote for it, so it can be brought to a higher level of attention. This is the link to the report:

If you are having problems with this, the best solution is to use VS2013 until Microsoft can fix VS2015:

I am having this problem even when I open it in Visual Studio 2010. I have both 2010 and 2015 installed on my computer.

There seems to be a work around by adding any of the drivers to the form, then building the solution. This should make the rest of the drivers appear.

I just tried adding one and then a few drivers to the screen and then building, and it doesn't seem to be working for me.

Did you try exiting VS and reopening the project. If you are using VS2010, I can't really guarantee it will work because testing and support for that version has been dropped as of version 3.99e

Typical IT answer... "Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?"
Well, it worked. Thank you. I'm looking forward to testing this HMI.

UPDATE : Microsoft has acknowledged this bug and says it will be fixed in the next release of Visual Studio.

I had similar problems VS2015 but not with the drivers; my problem was the control components were missing. Rebooted and up they came!!

Running Windows 10.

I had this problem as well. I was able to reboot most of the drivers but I could not manage to pull up the DF1 driver which is the one i need.  Im going to try VS2013.

The Df1Com driver has been renamed in the latest version to SerialDf1forSLCMicroCom

that cleared everything up.  I was using input addresses not memory addresses.  Thank you Archie.

Did a quick test with Visual Studio 2017 and it seems this is resolved, at least on my PC.

Yes, It actually resolved in RC version, but I was terrified with 13GB download.
The new release now offers component options to  install which is nice.
