Trying to find a dock panel/window widget like Visual Studio uses for its Toolbox/Properties/Solution Explorer/etc windows. Is there seriously not one already part of the .net framework? Or am I blind? If not, is there one you can recommend for me to download?
Weifenluo's DockPanel Suite is a very popular implementation of the Visual Studio style user interface. It has the right price too.
You can use Visual Studio (2008) Shell itself as a framework for your own apps:

This should give you all the docking, etc. that VS has.
*Edit: I don't know if the shell will be available for VS 2010
I dont think you will find one in the controls included by default in VS, but I have used the Telerik version for ASP.NET and been impressed.
Telerik Dock control
Even though this is an old question I thought I'd just add AvalonDock to list list, for anyone stumbling in here with the same question.
It's a very powerful framework, it's actively developed and it's free.
There isn't one with the framework, but there a bunch you can buy. I like Actipro's. I also suspect there are some free ones if you hunt around, but I haven't tried any of them.
