How to make Docking menu/toolbars in WinForms 2?

How does one make docking toolbars and menus? I had high hopes for the
toolstrip container but it appears that it only allows a toolstrip or
menustrip to be moved from one of its edges to another instead of providing
a mechanism whereby the entire strip can be picked up, moved around in
relation to other strips or even completely off the application altogether.
Is there some existing mechanism that I can use or is it necessary to build
this from scratch?

I am looking at how to float the toolstrip as well but it is not mandatory
to me.
