In toolbox there are lot of controls in visual studio. Some are really simple like button, form. Some other are complex. Is there an online resource where all of these controls are explained in details?

thanks

Yes, there is: MSDN.

... a good place to start. Assuming you're using VS, start local Help from the main menu bar; refresh 127.0.0.0 in the browser once it starts to get a space to enter "sample".

First of all, what do you call "Visual Studio Controls"? If you mean controls you use in the applications or libraries you develop: the answer is simple: there is no such thing. Visual Studio is just the IDE; it does not have those controls.

There is a number of different libraries and project types, each having it's own UI libraries with different and unrelated systems with controls and other UI elements. As you did not bother specify anything, not even platrform(s) and language(s) you wan to use, you will have to find it all by yourself, as other people do anyway, without asking any questions: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/[^].

Besides, you can set up local Visual Studio help. It is content-sensitive and will show you relevant topics during development. Start with pressing F1.

Exactly what I said in my COMMENT. And this Solution is not a solution.

The solution should be adequate to the question. I still think this is an adequate advice. What else would help here?
No, this is not "exactly" the same; don't tell something which is no true. You did not answer where to get help, but I did it. Not a big deal, of course, but this is not a sufficient reason to call this answer "not a solution". This is exactly the solution.
