StartMenuSeven Docking

StartMenuSeven seems to always be docked at the bottom. If I select To dock it at the top, it looks fine in designer mode, but when I run the app it is docked at the bottom. Here is what I did to fix the problem:

public ControlOrientation Orientation
{
get
{
return this.orientation;
}

set
{
this.orientation = value;

if (this.orientation == ControlOrientation.Horizontal)
{
//this.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom;
startMenuButtonStartSpacing = horizontalButtonSpacing;
}

else
{
//this.Dock = DockStyle.Right;
startMenuButtonStartSpacing = verticalButtonSpacing;
}

OrganizeStartButtons();
OrganizeTaskBarItems();
}
}

I commented out the lines that set the dock style for the control under the orientation section. This fixed everything. Now I can set the Dock Position under the component Properties and it works like it should instead of being reset by the lines above. I just download the Cloud Toolkit yesterday so I believe I have the latest version. By the Way......GREAT WORK!!

Thanks,
