The controls in the toolbox are going to be grayed out if you are trying to access them somewhere where you don't have access to them...for example, they will be grayed out if you are trying to use the toolbox while viewing your C# or VB.NET code....however the toolbox will not be grayed out if you are using it on the aspx page itself.

If you're using VS 2010 ... then this is the usual problem..

Anyways... try what Frinavale suggested ... apart from that if you still don't get the answer ... then its just a misguided bug that VS has..

it just blurs the toolbox controls which appear to us as disabled...
just click on any of the controls to make it active again...

This is due to the default .NET framework version when you try to create a new website/project. If the version of the target project (in which you want to use the control) is different from the custom control, then it will appear grayed out.

Hope this helps.
