Can you see the controls in the toolbox? Are they just grayed out? Or are there no controls at all? – Dirk Strauss Jan 12 '12 at 14:36

Do the following:
Step 1: Right click on the toolbox Step 2: Click on "Choose Items" from the context menu Step 3: From the 'Choose Toolbox Items" select the controls you want.
The controls will then be added to your toolbox.
EDIT: You can also change your Target Platform. Check that yours is Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK. If not, right click on your Project Name (not the solution) and from the context menu, select the "Change Target Platform" menu item. Change your target platform from that screen that pops up.
I hope this helps.
