My application uses Visual Studio 2010 to develop an application in SharePoint 2010. I created a visual webpart and added a <SharePoint:SPCalendarView ID="EventsCalendar1" width="100%" runat="server"></SharePoint:SPCalendarView> I also found that there are many other controls which appears in intellisense. How can I add these controls to the toolbox? Is there any documentation available on how to use these controls?

I was specifically asking for SharePoint controls like SPCalendarView, SPGridView etc –  Suja Shyam Dec 10 '12 at 12:11
Inside the .NET Freamework Componets are SharePoint controls as well. The procedure to add is the same too. Are you getting reference issues while opening the control? –  Benny Skogberg Dec 10 '12 at 12:28
