C# Programming

Hi,
So I am moving into a .net C# environment from the java eclipse RCP world. One of the things I appreciated most about eclipse RCP was the ability to use compontents that were prebuilt such as layout management and preferences, needing only to modify them with contributions.
Does .net have anything similar going on? For example, in eclipse all layout/docking was handled automatically once you added your widgets to a layout. Layouts were persistent across sessions- as the programmer all you had to do was tell the component where to go, eclipse did the rest of the notifications and redrawing.
Before I did the java thing, I programmed in VS 2003 C++ for several years, and I recall that we had to purchase 3rd party packages to accomplish most of what eclipse rcp provided for free. Has .net 2.0 or 3.0 provided anything like this?
Also, since I am obviously new to the who .net thing, where can I learn about the advantages of .net and how I can leverage it for my applications?
Thanks!
