Is it possible to dock Silverlight based controls like Windows Forms control ? For example I want to use a tab control, which I want to use as a control for page navigation ! Unfortunately I don't find a "Dock" property :-( !

I am not sure that i understand your question, but you can consider using one of the various WPF layout techniques.
Example:
<DockPanel LastChildFill="False">
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Bottom">Bottom</Button>
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Left">Left</Button>
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Right">Right</Button>
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Top">Top</Button>
<Button>Fill</Button>
</DockPanel>

Especially I want to dock silverlight controls. In Windows Forms you can dock every control in its container !

I am not common with silverlight. This works for WPF though.

The Silverlight Toolkit on Codeplex has such a DockPanel ! I think it behaves like the WPF DockPanel... !?

+1 This code works fine when used against the Silverlight Toolkit version of `DockPanel`

@Kottan: When you use the WPF tag in your question you will draw WPF answers, if you are looking for a strictly Silvelight answer remove the WPF tag from the question.

The Silverlight Toolkit found on Codeplex contains a DockPanel control, you will want to use that.
