My toolbox(tb) does not show dropdown list control. I tried to include it in tb thru' 'Tools'menu by Checking to select dropdown list control from 'Choose toolbox item' dialog box. The dropdown list control still does not show in the tb.
What is the reason for this? I need help with this. I tried resetting the tb but no success. I am using Visual Studio 2008. I have expanded all the categories in tb to see if by chance it has appeared in any category.

Thank you. U have answered my question. Yes, there is no dropdown list control. One can set the 'DropDownStyle' property of combobox to any of the three values (DropDownList, DropDown or Simple) to get various styles of comboboxes

Instead of using Design mode, why don't you try it in the code behind as:

XML

<asp:DropDownList id="ColorList"
                    AutoPostBack="True"
                    OnSelectedIndexChanged="Selection_Change"
                    runat="server"/>
