arranging the docking panels

Hi everybody,

What are the rules for pre-arranging the docking panels in a way that would align two of them and for nesting two panels in the same group ?
Is there a way to associate controls to the DockingManager and arrange the panels via the designer ?


Thanks in advance.

Hi Ryan,
Essential Studio Docking manager support for nested docking layouts and this requires no code to included in the application code to implement this feature.
Steps to create nested docking layouts.
Add docking manager to user control and create
docking layout.
Compile the application.
Create instances of the user control.
Dock that user control in the parent container.

Let me know if you need further assistance with this incident.

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Hi Poly,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to "Dock that user control in the parent container".
I couldn't find any DockingManager member in the property grid that represents a collection of panels/controls.

Could not view in the designer. Both user controls and the form failed to open in the designer with the following error:

Could not load file or assembly 'Syncfusion.Tools.Windows, Version=4.401.0.51, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Hi Ryan,

Could you please let me know the Syncfusion version and .net frame work you are using?
I have created the sample application using our latest version 4.4.0.51 in .net frame work 1.1.
Please provide me these details so that I can send a sample which you can run at your end.

Best Regards,
