Cannot load Krypton Toolkit controls in Visual Studio 2013 - visual-studio-2013

After converting with Visual Studio 2013 a C# project created with Visual Studio 2010 and using Component Factory Krypton Toolkit v4.4.0 controls, I can't add the Krypton Toolkit controls to the tool box.
In Visual Studio 2013, when I try to add the controls to the tool box from the library C:\Program Files (x86)\Component Factory\Krypton Toolkit 4.4.0\Bin\ComponentFactory.Krypton.Toolkit.dll I'm getting an error because it doesn't find the file ComponentFactory.Krypton.Toolkit.tlb.
Is there a way to import the Windows Forms controls from the library without having this .tlb file?

Try reinstalling Krypton (because is probably not integrated with VS2013) and importing Krypton toolkit in the VS2013 Toolbox again.
I managed to migrate a project from VS2010 with Krypton to VS2013 with no big issues.

Visual Studio: there are no components that can be placed on the toolbox

I am using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Windows 7, and a C# / WinForms project. I have a problem that I cannot add any DLLs to the toolbox. I have already tried searching on Google for the answer, but none of the solutions work: rebuilding the project and re-installing Visual Studio both didn't work.
Even if I create a new project, I cannot drag the DLL to the toolbox or nuGet or use "Choose Item" from the toolbox. I want to use materialSkin, metroframework, and others like that.
Just in case it helps: I have installed Visual C# 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 previously; could that cause any problems with Visual Studio 2013?
Here is the error I see:
Can anyone help please?

Portable class library in visual studio 2013 (wp7/win8)

How to create PCL wp7/win8 in visual studio 2013?
I have already installed windows phone 7 sdk and windows phone 8 sdk, but it does not help.
There is no option for wp 7.1.
Visual Studio does not support Windows Phone 7 development.
This may change in the future but, based on what has happened with previous versions of Visual Studio and separate SDKs, I suspect that is unlikely.
It's only possible to target PCL projects for SDKs that are installed.
You could build your PCL in VS2012 and consume it in a VS2103 project though.
On the other (/plus?) side, there are free versions of VS2012 and VS2013 and the can be installed side by side so you'll be able to build for WP7 for plenty of time to come.
Visual Studio 2013 has removed support for Windows Phone 7.x, Silverlight 4 and Xbox development.
For the entire list of compatibility between Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh266747(v=vs.120).aspx.
Keep in mind that VS 2013 is still a preview. So maybe it will be available later but for the moment it looks like you can only create a PCL project with support for both Windows Phone 7 and Windows Store apps by using Visual Studio 2012
There is a solution according to
http://www.johanlaanstra.nl/2013/09/22/portable-class-libraries-with-wp7-support-in-visual-studio-2013-rc
...was wondering why Visual Studio would upgrade the project while the
profile was there on disk. While digging through the xml files for
Profile104 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference
Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETPortable\v4.0\Profile\Profile104),
which is the profile I was using, I found some xml files in the
SupportedFrameworks subfolder. These xml files defined a
MinimumVisualStudioVersion and a MaximumVisualStudioVersion. For
Profile104, one of the files contained MaximumVisualStudioVersion="11"
which means Visual Studio 2012. Changing all xml files for the profile
to have MaximumVisualStudioVersion="12", which means Visual Studio
2013, made my scenario work after a restart of Visual Studio. I can
now open the PCL in Visual Studio 2013 without it being upgraded. Make
sure you restart VS after this change to make it work.

Unable to open project in VisualStudio 2010

I created a SilverLight solution in Visual Web Developer Express 2010. Now, my system got installed with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. On opening the existing express solution, I got the below error:
Unable to open project. An update to Microsoft Visual Studio is required to support the targeted version of SilverLight. Download the update at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkId=168436
It takes to install the add-on Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010. My question is 'Why itz not part and parcel of professional edition?'
If I recall correctly, the silverlight tools for VS2010 were released very shortly after VS2010 went RTM. Silverlight is a separate technology that isn't dependent on Visual Studio. It's developed by a different group and they have separate release schedules.

Can't access TimePicker (Silverlight 4) Visual Studio 2010

I use Visual Studio 2010, and I recently installed Silverlight 4 Toolkit. However I still can't access TimePicker. System.Windows.Control is in the Solution Reference, and it also doesn't show the new Silverlight controls. In the VS 2010 installation directory, I can see Silverlight 4 (and 3). Where am I doing wrong?
Are you referencing System.Windows.Controls.Input? Also, if your not already, toolkit can be installed with nuget.
