Visual Studio 2010-like multiple-monitor support for Windows Forms applications?

I have the following project.

The main form has control in it. This control displays something (scanned images for example). I have two monitors. So I need to be able to drag that control from the main window to the second monitor so I have main window AND control displaying something visible at the same time.

I know that such functionality does exists in Visual Studio 2010 where you can move your code files and other windows from main IDE window to the second monitor.

I want to implement the same kind of functionality for my windows application written in C#, Visual Studio 2010.

If you could recommend a library, sample code or third party component to achieve that I would highly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Library? Fire up two windows, use Screens to position them, and that's it... or is it? – Daniel Mošmondor
So are you wanting to use a tab interface or something like Vs ? – Micah Armantrout
Something like VS would be prefereable – Anvar

Tear off tab functionality like that of visual studio can be found in Avalon Dock: http://avalondock.codeplex.com/

I do not have experience with the new 2.0 release but the old release was reasonably stable and did support winforms.
