Is there is an open source or free control like the Outlook Navigation control? I want to add one to my .NET application.

Update1: I am not using WPF. I need control for windows form only and i am using .NET Framework 2.0

A: 

For Windows Forms or for WPF?

Why asking, simply answer what you know - if you know both, he will be helped anyway ;-)

TBH, it's a fair question. Also which version of Outlook? I've had a stab at answering but I've no idea if I have answered the question as the OP intended. For historical purposes, a more focused question would be better.

A: 

For WPF you can use divelements' SandShell control:

Edit: This is not free, haven't read the question carefully enough.

No, it's not free. I'm sorry, didn't read the question carefully enough.

A: 

There are several freely available if you are looking for the older < 2007 version.

If you wanting the 2007 ribbon control, you can use the WPF Preview, or this winforms version.

I'm going to assume you are looking for a WinForms control. Here are a couple that I've checked out in the past.

Ah, is there anything you can't get at CodeProject.com? :)

I am using the VIBlend's free Navigation Bar for WinForms.
