Accepted answer
Where is your design surface? You should have a web-page created and be visible in design mode to add controls to it.

The tool box becomes enabled ONLY WHEN there is proper design area open in another pane.

Unfortunately, I am not an expert on the subject. However, it all relates to type of project, etc.

For example, please refer to the following:
