I've used avalondock - it is quite good if you need drag-able, dock-able 
VS-like ui (and if you look at the code you'll see a bunch of areas of WPF 
you've never seen before). For your scenario I'd look at using the wpf grid 
with a grid-splitter and code to animate the left column width. I think Adam 
Nathan had a demo of this in WPF unleashed.
