VS is not a drawing program so you won't find them.
If you are referring to the WinForm controls that are available then you first would need to have a WinForm form open. Then go to the Toolbox and you'll see Visual Basic PowerPacks where the shapes reside. If you can't find the tab then you can manually add it back via Add Tab and browsing to the VB Powerpack assembly.
For other apps such as ASP.NET and WPF these controls do not exist.

Hi Rubinder,
Are you looking for Line,Oval,Rectangle control which can used in .net application?
I think you are looking for Visual Basic Power Packs, please download and install it, then the control will be shown in the Toolbox.

The VB PP is part of the core framework starting with v4. So if you installed VS 2010 Standard or higher it is already on your machine. You might need to reset the Toolbox (context menu) if it doesn't show up. But note that the Toolbox is context sensitive so you need to have a Windows Form open in the designer before you'll see it.
If you are using VS Express then you'll need VS C# Express or VS VB Express before it'll be available.
The assembly itself resides in the GAC with the rest of the framework. You shouldn't care about that since the Toolbox (after reset) should already have it, but only if you have WinForm form open in the designer. The source code doesn't count. It must be the actual graphical form.
