TypedLists are ToolBoxItems, why not Entities?

When I create TypedLists, they appear in my tool box for binding as they are marked:

    [Serializable, System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategory("Code")]
    [ToolboxItem(true)]
    [DesignTimeVisible(true)]

However, **Entites **are not marked as such. I can bind to them via the " Add Data Sources" menu in VS.NET

Is there a way to make them appear in the Toolbox?

Are you using Adapter or SelfServicing?

Entities dont implement IComponent, so they're not added to the toolbox because of that. IComponent isn't necessary for entities, so it's not implemented for that reason.
