Docking a Windows Form to Screen edge

Guest

Sorry for cross post - my other post produced to results.
I need to create a C# 2.0 Windows XP SP2 application that has the following
features:

Sidebar - vertical bar on a desktop which basically functions as a control
panel for other gadgets. I can drag and drop any of my gadgets into or out of
the sidebar, or move them up or down to arrange them in any order. The
sidebar can be set to always stay on top of other screens. Unfortunately,
Google Desktop is not suitable for my needs.

I’ve looked at a number of 3rd party controls but all of them have this
nasty feature of shifting desktop icons. I figured if I could simple make a
resizable form that I can dock to a screen edge, that’s all I need. How can I
make my form dock to a screen edge?

Any ideas/suggestions/urls/samples are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

--Michael
