VS.NET-like interface: Docked Panels, Tabs, etc

[DraguVaso]

Hi,

I want to give my application a Visual Studio .NET-liek interface: With
Forms that can appear or disappear at the site like the Toolbox. With docked
Forms. With Forms that are selectable with Tabs.

I found some information abotu these stuff on the internet, but you always
have to buy for it, or it is a dll. For security-reasons I'm not allowed to
use dll's without having the source-code of it, So I can't use these things.
(for exemple http://www.divil.co.uk/net/controls/dockingsuite/).

Does anybody knows where I can find the (free!) source code for what I'm
looking for? Any help our hints would be really apreciated!

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter

Oh man you are Great!! thanks a lot! You made my day!!
A pitty that it is in C#, but I should be able to understand it I guess.

If anybody has the same in VB.NET that would be Greater, hehe, but I think
this should be enough for me.

Thanks a lot!

You can use SharpDevelop to convert code to VB.Net

He used to have a free version (pre 2.0?) that is still available out there.
Check www.codeproject.com, that site seems to be having a problem currently.
