Are there any good c# examples on how to dynamically create docking elements?

[Rod Yager]

I would like to completely create my docking control and the panes inside dynamically at runtime. For some reason I am having a difficult time understanding the parent/child relationship of some of these controls. What I am looking to do is to create a docking control with evenly sized panes that can be used in a dashboard type screen. Meaning it would layout more like a grid. However, the client could re-arrange and save the layout however he/she desired. Are there any c# examples that I could draw from?

As an example this code throws an error. The only thing that is static xaml is the HomPageDocking control.

RadSplitContainer splitContainer = new RadSplitContainer();
WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser();
browser.Navigate("http://www.facebook.com");
RadPane browserPane = new RadPane();
browserPane.Header = "Facebook Widget";
browserPane.Content = browser;
splitContainer.Items.Add(browserPane);
this.HomePageDocking.Items.Add(splitContainer);
