There are dozens of user control in our project. All these controls loads in Toolbox. I think this slows down the system when we work in designer. Is it true? if so the how to remove these controls from tollbox?
Thanks.

A:
You can either delete the tab they are all in by right clicking and "Delete Tab".
Or just right click on the item itself and "Delete"
Ive persoanlly never noticed a slow down and ive all the Telerik ASP.NET set and quite a few custom ones in certain projects.

A:
If you want to prevent certain usercontrols in your project from being auto-added to the toolbox, then you can add the [System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)] attribute to your usercontrol class (This syntax assumes you're using C#).

This will definitely slow down VS if there are a lot of projects all containing user controls.
Answer from linked questions:
Check this setting:
Tools > Options > Windows Forms Designer > General : AutoToolboxPopulate
It should be set to FALSE.
