[2005] Outlook-like left hand menu

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make an Outlook (2002) left hand menu in a VB.NET (2005) application?

I've previously fooled around and tried to make my own, but i wondered if maybe someone had a better way to make one - perhaps by tweaking an existing control in a way i hadn't considered.

There are 3rd party controls for free but the best ones cost a good chunk on money.

Janus makes a rhobust 2003 style Outlook left hand navigation pane.
