WebForms Dock Overview
The Telerik Docking controls consist of RadDock, RadDockZone, and RadDockLayout. Together, they can be used to create ASP.NET applications that contain movable content regions that can be dragged around the Web page, docked into docking zones, collapsed into a minimized state and expanded to display their content, pinned in place, and so on.
The Dock is part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX, a
professional grade UI library with 120+ components for building modern and feature-rich applications. To try it out sign up for a free 30-day trial.
