Question
Adding a custom component to be used cross-solution-wise
Do we have any ways to add the custom component coded by C# to be used among multiple solutions?
The thing that comes to my mind is adding Toolbox items from the existing libraries, as is described in the following URL. But it seems to be the one that is applicable within the OOTB libraries.

Any approaches to achieve this?
*We do not have a separate license for Microsoft Visual Studio.

You can create your own custom components for OpenSpan by creating a Class Library solution in Visual Studio. The class must extend System.ComponentModel.
You can add a reference to your project to the generated dll. Then go to the Toolbox, right click the margin, and select "Choose Items." In this dialog, you would go to the .Net components and browse for the dll. Check it and you should be able to use any public methods that you have designed.
If you do not have access to Visual Studio, what did you have in mind? Visual Studio Community Version is free.
