The Control Outline PowerToy is a plug-in developed by PowerToys for Visual Studio .NET 2003. It provides developers with the ability to view all controls on a form in a hierarchical outline. This makes it easier to navigate and manipulate controls within the Designer view.

The plug-in adds a new tab to the Toolbox called "Control Outline". Dragging this tab onto the Designer view will display a tree-like structure of all controls on the form. Each control is listed with its corresponding name and type, and can be expanded or collapsed to reveal its child controls.

This feature is particularly useful when working with complex forms that contain numerous nested controls. It enables developers to quickly identify and locate specific controls, and facilitates more efficient code writing and debugging.

In summary, the Control Outline PowerToy is a valuable tool for developers using Visual Studio .NET 2003, providing an intuitive way to view and manage controls within the Designer view.
