Adding Viewer Controls to WinForms or Web project

With the release of the feature pack for SQL 2005 and the included Datamining Viewer Controls I was wondering three things. 1) How do you add these controls to your toolbox and 2) Are these controls installed with VS 2005 or SQL 2005 and these are just the redistributable versions for systems where VS 2005 and SQL 2005 are not installed? 3) Is there a description of the controls and what each one does?1) How do you add these controls to your toolbox

In the Winform designer, right click on the Toolbox and select 'Choose Items...' menu item. Hit the Brows button and select file 'Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Viewers.dll'. Hit the OK button to add all the viewer controls to your toolbox.

2) Are these controls installed with VS 2005 or SQL 2005 and these are just the redistributable versions for systems where VS 2005 and SQL 2005 are not installed?

The view controls are shipped with SQL 2005 as well as in its separate redistributable available for download.

3) Is there a description of the controls and what each one does?
You can find description of each individual viewer control in SQL Books online.
