'tab' directory not available in application root

I am evaluating pinTab to see if I want to buy it. So this is all new. I installed the msi. I added the pinTab.dll to my toolbar. I will able to configure the "items" collection. I then try to run the page to see the results and got the error in the subj line of this posting. The actual error msg also included "or 'TabDirectory' property at <>".
I am using VS2005 on an XP box with IE6 installed. I installed IIS on the box per pinTab's installation request. I think part of the problem might be that pinTab's directory is in \Inetpub\wwwroot\, but when I test the page in VS2005, it uses the built-in webserver, not IIS. Also, when I added the control to the webpage, it added a bin folder to the solution with pinTab.dll.
Please advise. I like what I see so far. Also, what the limitations of the evaluation copy.

Hi,
pinTab exist of the DLL and the "ressource" folder "tab".
By default the "tab" folder is searched in web application root.
(It should also work with built-in web server.)
If not you have to specify "TabDirectory" which points to the "tab" folder.
There are no limitations in evaluation.

I've tried everyway I can think of to list the pintab folder in the TabDirectory property. Could someone please show an example of how they listed the folder and anything else they had to do to get pintab to work in VS2005. I am starting to get a little frustrated.

In your project directory you should place those tab and bin directories that came with the pintab. Then add them to the VS2005 project so it looks like this

You might want to ensure that web.config has something similar to what I got shown in that above url.
I am having problems using the designer to change pintab properties. Somehow intellisense is replaceing Pin:tab with improper code. I am not sure where the problem is but an easy workaround is to go to "source" and modify size and layout manually. I am curious if you are able to resize the pintab control and not have the same problem I got.

Stupid question of the day - how did you add the "tab" folder to your project. VS is only letting me add files, not folders. I am going thru the "add existing item" menu option. I am feeling pretty stupid right now.

Hi,
just create a folder "Tab" in VS and search in your application folder for this new created folder.
Then copy all files.
You can also copy the "tab" folder to any web accesable place and specify the "TabDirectory" property to point to this folder.
