V2.0.0 COMMUNITY EDITION IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES

67 new improvements 
Notable new features
  • Our flexible docking window control, AvalonDock, is now part of the toolkit. Provides a system that allows developers to create customizable layouts using a dock system similar to what is found in many popular integrated development environments (IDEs). Aero, Metro, and VS2010 themes are provided for the control, in addition to the Office 2007 themes.
  • WindowContainer has been added. This container can contain more than one ChildWindow at the same time.
  • ChildWindow has several new properties that allow the window chrome to be styled. It also derives from the newly added WindowControl, which has various advantages over the old version.
  • The MessageBox class also has several new properties that allow its chrome to be styled; furthermore, it can now be displayed in XBAP application when displayed in a WindowContainer. It also now derives from WindowControl.
  • A Windows 8 theme is now supported by all of the controls in the toolkit.
  • New 'Live Explorer' application with source code demonstrates all the features. See an online version here.
