Go to your Toolbox and right click anywhere. Then click Choose Items and when the dialog comes up click on browse. Browse to you're DLL file and then it'll put it in that list in the dialog. Once you check it off in that dialog it'll become available in your toolbox.

I have created one project with one user control named usercontrol1.cs . It actually a login form contain two text box and one login button. All these object are put in one user control. After that i compile it and it create DLL file. But my problem now is when i create another window forms project how to import that login form (the user control that i have created in previous project) so that i can use that login user control in this new project? I try to add reference the usercontrol1.DLL  the login form didn't come out and in toolbox also can't find my project component (usercontrol1) . Hope you can clear my doubt. If the usercontrol is inside same project then in the toolbox i can find my usercontrol that i created. I just drag and drop my login user control form only. But if not the same project i encounter the above problem. Thanks

In your solution add a new project however as a project template choose Class Library. In THAT project add a user control and do everything you need to do. Once that's done build it and you'll have yourself a dll file (it can easily be found in the projects bin/debug folder.)
