(In case some other idiot runs into this ...) the problem was that I
was not in design view (or design mode or whatever it's called). I
guess the toolbox is context sensitive, so when you are not in design
mode/view the toolbox does not contain the design tools.

Like I said in the original post, I am a real novice!

Hey, it happened to me. I was afraid I was hosed. Then the tools came back
as mysteriously as they had disappeared. I finally realized what was
happening. Duh.

I think it may also happen when your app is running, spawned from VS.
