- If you are a developer, download this. This is the first good looking, free, Office 2003 toolbar system. It looks just like the real thing!
The docking is handled automatically. All you have to do is create a Rebar on a form, then create a CommandBar, then add a Band to the Bands collection on the Rebar and assigning the CommandBar to the Child property of the Band, and adding buttons to the command bar with the Items collection. Once you're done, just click Live Mode and click buttons to assign them events!

A comment to the person who made this: Could you please allow non-XPTaskPaneGroup-controls to be in an XPTaskPane? Thank you. I just realized that DockingManagerExtenders can be used to do this.

Also, the titles of task panes are slightly too high in Office XP mode. In the demo program, set the style to Office XP and look at the task pane title to see.

Thank you very much for making this!

QUOTE (#2.0) Why does everything have XP in the name? It's getting old.
There is a good reason for this. XP stands for experience, so in essence NetXP provides a user eXPerience for .NET applications.-

- Could it be that the product provides a look for .NET developers that is in the style of *gasp* Windows XP and Office 2003 (and somewhat to Office XP)?
You obviously don't understand marketing. -

- Excellent work to Dan, top bloke, good job in this control i love it, it's a bloody replica.
The final version of NetXP 2.0 will be available to users free of charge, excluding source code.
Beta 2 has a complete XML documentation, and improved samples (in both VB.NET and C#).
VeriSign's Site Finder, launched on Monday, has drawn heated criticism for hijacking mistyped Web addresses. Instead of getting an error message, Web surfers who mistype ".com" and ".net" Web addresses are redirected to the Site Finder service, which then offers a list of likely alternatives, some of which are paid-placement links. Critics complain the new service gives VeriSign too much control over online traffic and allows it to profit from an essential monopoly over ".com" and ".net" names. VeriSign is charged by the U.S. government with running the ".com" and ".net" domains, and directs much of the traffic on the Internet.
However, the ISC is about to undercut the Site Finder service with a patch to its BIND software.
BIND runs on about 80 percent of the Internet's domain name servers -- the machines that translate human-readable Web addresses like www.wired.com into machine-readable Internet addresses used by the Internet's vast network of computers."
The patch will be released by the end of Tuesday, said Paul Vixie, ISC's president.
"The phone has been ringing off the hook with deeply unhappy customers," he said. "We don't have a political ax to grind. Whether VeriSign should or should not have done this is not for us to decide. But we have to respond to our customers who are demanding it."
Vixie said that ISC's customers -- typically ISPs and large enterprises -- needed a fix because VeriSign's Site Finder broke their spam filters.
Vixie said a lot of spam spoofs the "from" domain, and that many ISP-level spam filters check whether incoming e-mail is from a valid domain or not. Instead of generating errors, the spam filter checks are instead being rerouted to the Site Finder service, and therefore appear to originate from a legitimate domain.
Vixie said the ISC's customers aren't too concerned with advertising. "They don't want to help spammers. It's the lack of a viable spam-detection mechanism they're worried about. They are concerned about spam, not advertising," Vixie said.
VeriSign did not respond requests for comment.
