Solution

  • Toolbox gets activated only if the webpage(.html,.htm etc) or the designer view is open.

    Toolbox appears in conjunction with designer views, such as the designer view of a XAML file or a Windows Forms App project. Toolbox displays only those controls that can be used in the current designer.
