Where are dll files in VS2005?
I'm using VS2005 but after i built my program, i can't find dll files which were stored into "Bin\Debug" in VS2003. How can i find them in VS2005?.

Hmm, I have never had that problem with VS2005 nor VS2003...
Is your custom control in different project than the main program in your solution? That is the case when a separate .dll is generated from the custom control.

Sorry because i didn't explan detail. In VS2003 after i drag and drop my custom control into my project, it's dll will be output to bin\debug automatic, but in VS2005 i can't find it in bin\debug.

What dll's? Have you got a solution that you converted from VS2003 to VS2005? It may have cleaned the solution (emptied the bin and obj folders). Or have you cleaned the solution yourself?
bin/Debug, bin/Release, obj/Debug and obj/Release -folders should always be left as is, and let just the compiler modify their contents. If you need to empty them, just select Clean Solution from Build -menu.
If you need to copy something into bin/Debug or bin/Release folders, don't add them yourself. Add them to the same folder than your codes, and add them into your project in visual studio. Then click the added file in Solution Explorer, and change Copy to Output Directory -property to Copy if newer or Copy always. This will copy the file safely to the output directories.
