XAML

 <Grid>
      <syncfusion:DockingManager Name="DockingManager" Width="Auto" SwitchMode="Immediate" UseDocumentContainer="True" >
          <ContentControl syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="DockingSample" syncfusion:DockingManager.State="Document" >
               <FlowDocument>
                   <Paragraph>wlecome</Paragraph>
               </FlowDocument>
          </ContentControl>
          <ContentControl syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="DocumentContainer" syncfusion:DockingManager.State="Document" >
              <FlowDocument>
                  <Paragraph>Welcome To Syncfusion</Paragraph>
              </FlowDocument>

</Grid>
