I mentioned the issues with trying to get the ToolStripControl to work with VisualStudio 2005. I have found a post which describes the same problem that I have been having. I did not realize the post that Jonesie made…. He commented that the ‘Document Outline’ in VS2005 is a real lifesaver. Having looked at the comments to the posting I worked out that this might be the solution.

So I opened up the Document Outline viewer, and it seems to fix the problems I have been having. I can re-order things quickly and graphically without needing to cut and paste objects. I will need to spend some more time looking at the GUI seeing what else I can find.
