Custom Web Parts is not getting displayed after deployment in Share Point 2010. How to Resolve?

In SharePoint 2010, we can create Visual Web parts very easily from Visual Studio and deploy it directly from Visual Studio. After deployment, when adding a web part on a SharePoint page, you might face the issue that custom web parts are not getting displayed under custom web parts section though your deployment was successful from Visual Studio.

This problem might happen due to activation of features list of your corresponding web parts. To resolve this issue, you need to perform the following steps.

1. Go To Site Action from your SharePoint Site and Navigate to Site Settings:

   

   Figure: Navigate to Site Settings
2. In site setting page, select “Site Collection Features” under “Site Collection Administrator” Section.

   

   Figure: Select “Site Collection Features” for get the list of features
3. There you will find the list of features that belong to your site collection. Just search for your own web parts features. You will find it as “deactivate State”.
