Image of the new file added to the list of toolbox items in the 'Choose Toolbox Items' dialog box.
6 After you've double clicked the file you're returned to the 'Choose Toolbox Items' dialog. Make sure that the checkbox is ticked and click 'OK'.
  
That's it. Once the Tool is in your Toolbox, you can rename it to whatever you want, you can drag and drop it to a different tab, you can even create a new tab and put it there.

      Note:  
      There is another way to add items to the above list. Notice the words 'Global Assembly Cache' in the dialog box shown in step 6. All the other items seem to be stored in this directory. You can put your file into this directory too by means of a command line utility called gacutil.exe. If this tool is available on your machine all you need to do is enter something similar to this at the command prompt:

gacutil /i  fileNameAndPath.dll

To uninstall it you can use the comand:

gacutil /u fileNameAndPath.dll
