Does that mean that controls won't have the Docked property in vs.net 2005?
If so, that's a good reason not to upgrade!

Dock Windows, ala Visual Studio .Net, no. There is no provision for them.
Infragistics WinForm controls do provide for dockable Windows as do others.
I believe that SyncFusion also provides for them.

No, that's not what he meant. Controls will still have the Docked property.
What rawCoder was asking is if Whidbey would have a scheme whereby you can
put docking subwindows in your app, just like the VS.NET IDE.

Chris,

Is it not better to ask and discus this in a whidbey newsgroup.
The big benefit is than that Microsoft can better use your opinions.

Just my thought,

Controls will still have a 'Dock' property, but there won't be support for
creating UIs like those of VS.NET! Notice that there are some (commercial)
3rd-party components for docked windows support, like the Magic Library, for
example, available.

Thanks. I didn't even know you can dock windows in 2003, just controls like
panels, etc.

Docking windows was not supported in .NET 1.0/1.1 Windows forms. It's a
feature of the Visual Studio .NET /IDE/.

Thank You all for your comments

Just a quick question ? Why is it not yet provided ? I mean ofcourse only
MSFT business guys wud know, but its real ironic that the Visual Studio 6
IDE had this docking feature back in 94-98 and microsoft for some real good
reason is reluctant in publishing atleast entry level windows docking. I
know the vendors like infragistics and others solely depend on the
shortcomings of .NET controls but ...

Well just was a little curious.

Thanx anyways
