C# docking control library

Question

I'm looking for a docking control library for C# WinForms that works in NET 2.0, is freeware, doesn't use any P/Invokes (so that it's compatible with Mono) and isn't buggy. WeifenLuo would have been the best option here, but because it uses a ton of P/Invokes, I will never be able to get my software to be cross-platform.

So any good suggestions?

I managed to get WeifenLuo's docking library control (DockPanel Suite) working on Mono, at the cost of some features.

If anyone is interested, please read this.

You could take a look at SharpDevelop, but I can't say whether it uses P/Invoke.

SharpDevelop old releases use WinForms and DockPanel Suite in fact. So it uses P/Invoke. Latest SharpDevelop uses WPF and AvalonDock, which is not cross platform/Mono friendly either. – Lex Li Feb 24 '12 at 05:27
