Dockable Toolbar

Am I nuts or is there no built in Dockable Toolbars (or control bars) in
C#. Isn't this quite a big step backwards from MFC?

Please someone: tell me I'm just missing something.

Are you looking for something like a ContextMenu?

Thanks for your reply:

No, actually, I'm looking for a toolbar. With buttons on it, like Open,
Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, etc. buttons, and that you can pull
off the top of the window and dock to the sides, or bottom or back to the
top.

A Docking Form object that will dock to the sides (or top or bottom) of
the window with the same ease as toolbars, would have been more than
welcome, as well.
Ultimately it's not entirely necessary - but I'm migrating to C# from
Visual C++ where all that stuff is built into the libraries. I would have
thought it would make sense to have *at least* the same level of
functionality in C#.
And I have a budget of $0.00 so, suggestions to buy from a third party
won't be very helpful. I'll either have to make it or live without it.
Unless it's built in, and I'm ranting for no reason.

They are included in the .NET Framework 2.0. Look for them there.
