I am trying to create a project (using Visual Studios 2022) which will access a PDF file and also want to play a video using windows media player, however i'm unable to add "Adobe PDF Reader" control and "Windows media player" control in my toolbox...i'm getting an error stating "The following controls were successfully added to the toolbox but are not enabled in the active designer" along with a note which states "Make sure the controls to add are compatible with the current designer and .NET Framework version."...

Attaching Error Screenshot for further reference.

Please assist.

    You posted in a forum for VBA programming, the language inside of Microsoft Office products, but your question is about using Visual Studio in .NET programming. I'm sure there are better forums you could find for that question.

    Probably the usual problem with .NET project instead of .NET Framework project...

    Try to create a .NET Framework project...
