What? No toolbox items after installing Windows Mobile 6 SDK?

I installed Windows Mobile 6 SDK yesterday and today when I started experimenting with WM6 apps in Visual Studio I noticed that the toolbox is completely empty! Otherwise the project was waorking ok, but I could not drag any controls to the form. Not a very pleasant experience, is it?

Well, fortunately there was this paragraph on the SDK readme file:

Toolbox is empty after installing Windows Mobile 6 SDK

If toolbox is empty after installing Windows Mobile 6 SDK, right click on the Toolbox window and click on "Reset Toolbox" - this will bring back all controls.

I did that, and it resolved the problem! It took a few minutes to reset the toolbox but after that all the familiar controls were back there where they belong.

Thanks a million!

As a chronic non-reader of Readme files I think I would've been reduced to trial and error to get around that one.
