Creating UI framework more like Visual studio

I want to develop the application UI much like as VS2010 or any similar UI models. My requirements are as below:

  1. Opening new project will create empty canavs.
  2. When I will do add data sheet it will add new tab page in that.
  3. Remaining few things I will do on that added tab page like showing charts, different types of controls etc.
  4. When I will press 'Save' it will persist whatever there on UI like added tab pages and every controls on it on disk.
  5. When I will open any saved project, It will recreate everything what was there on UI at the time of saving the project.
  6. I will have recently open project list.

Any idea for creating how to create such UI?

Thanks, Omky

It's quite easy to implement the Visual Studio-inspired UI using DevExpress Docking library for WinForms.

Maybe develop your solution over Visual Studio SDK? A good sample is AddonStudio for World of Warcraft which is customized dev. environment for World of Warcraft addon development based on Visual Studio.
