Welcome to AvalonDock 1.2

What's new

• Fixed a critical issue introduced with a patch

Please note that from this release source code can be downloaded from the 'Source Code' section only (use SVN, VS Team Explorer etc). Uploading the sources via HTTP takes so loooong! :)

Version 1.2 has many more features than version 1.1 and internally has many changes. Find further info on version 1.2 from my blog (http://www.youdev.net/post/2009/03/26/AvalonDock-12-Features-Fixes.aspx)

IMPORTANT

Installation Notes
Setup installs AvalonDock under VS2005/VS2008.

• VS2005 - To properly install AvalonDock into VS2005 toolbox you should have already installed the ToolboxControlsInstaller (TCI) which is included as a redistributable package in the VS2005 SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=51A5C65B-C020-4E08-8AC0-3EB9C06996F4&displaylang=en). If you don't want to install TCI, create a tab in the toolbox, and add AvalonDock controls adding a reference to AvalonDock.dll assembly.
• VS2008 - Under VS2008 nothing to do is required because TCI is installed by default, so you should find a toolbox tab named "AvalonDock" containing AvalonDock controls.

Skin & Themes
If you created a skin/theme for AvalonDock and wish to share it with the community please contact me and I will pack it with the distribution.

Thanks!
