Freeware/shareware Windows controls

I'm experimenting with .Net programming and is wondering what free (or
low-cost) UI controls are available for non-commercial use.

As I'm just playing around with code and concepts at the moment, I'm not
really ready to go out and start purchasing commercial libraries at hundreds
of dollars each. For one thing, I'm not sure what I'm really looking for in
a library yet. My primary interest at the moment is playing around with
simulating some of the look and feel of Office 2003 (such as the panels on
the right side of Word, etc.).

I have looked at various contributions to GotDotNet and I am aware of the
Magic UI Library, which provides docking panels like Visual Studio uses.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of, or care to, recommend any other such
libraries.

TIA,

Richard Rosenheim

Have a look at <URL:http://www.codeproject.com/>,
<URL:http://www.gotdotnet.com/>, <URL:http://www.vbAccelerator.com/> and
the Visual Basic .NET Resource Kit
(<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/>).

Thanks. Looked a little at codeproject.com, seems to be a lot of useful
stuff there.
