AppBar .net

Does anyone know of any good components (hopefully sub $500 USD) to create an appbar in .net?

In case you don't know what I mean by AppBar, it is like the windows start menu that can be docked to the screen edges and set to autohide.

I have some VB6 code, but it is kind of buggy and I don't want to try and translate it to .net unless I have to. It uses the SHAppBarMessage API and works, however, it subclasses my form and as with most subclassing, it makes debugging difficult.

I have seen some code on sites like code project, but I was really looking for a component that just works, so I can use it and not spend my time programming this piece of the project.

Thanks,

not sure if this is something like what you are looking for

This sample demonstrates how to create a Windows Forms application that registers itself as a desktop toolbar. The behavior of your desktop toolbar can exactly mimic that of the Windows Taskbar. More information and instructions are available in the AppBar.txt file (included in zip).

That has a small bit of the functionality that I am looking for, however I was looking for something simple to use and integrate into a program. Here is the VB6 code I found on psc, its built as a class which lets me just do a .Extends and set some properties and it is ready to go. I had to make a few minor bug fixes to the code to get it working in vb6, but overall it just works. I am looking for something with similar functionality in .net.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
