Dockable windows with pin and autohide feature

We need to provide a feature in NET 2.0 with Dockable windows with pin and autohide feature (Similar to the solution explorer window)
I tried to accomplish this using the VS.NET 2005 Beta 1. But could not go further.

Any hints?

Thanks
Jubin

Hi Jerry,

Thanks a lot for the prompt response.

I did check the dotnetmagic library. I believe earlier they were providing the source free. Now they are charging. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The idead is to reduce dependence on third party components.

I am surprised why it is not part of the new version 2.0

Please let me know if there are alternatives.

Thanks
Jubin
