If you right click on the toolbox you will see a menu item called Choose Items, click it.
In the dialog box that pops up you will see some tabs, go to the relevant tab and click Browse... (bottom right).
Choose the assembly containing your component(s).

The component(s) should now appear in the toolbox.

I honestly can't remember if that means they will appear in every project/solution or just the one that you are working on, that's easy to test though.
Exactly what appears in the toolbox also depends on the type of project, the .Net version etc. and whether the component(s) that you are trying to add are built for the same version.

If what you are asking is how do you add custom controls to the control toolbox, the Visual Studio documentation describes the process of adding custom controls to it. Toolbox window - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn[^]
