Native Pinnable, Docked Control Containers in 3.5?

[Joe C]

I'm going to be upgrading a MDI winforms app from 1.1 to 3.5.

Right now I use a control called SandDock (http://www.divil.co.uk/net/
controls/sanddock/screenshots.aspx) to manage the open windows with a
tab interface and provide a pinnable docked control container for
child MDI launching purposes.

Does .NET 3.5 have anything that NATIVELY supports pinnable docked
control containers? I can find several 3rd party control providers for
this purpose, but I wanted to avoid purchasing something unnecessary.

Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,

I'm afraid there are no pinnable controls shipped with .Net Framework so you
have to use a 3rd party control for this.
