var myControl = new MyUserControl();
DockPanel.SetDock(myControl, Dock.Left);
myDockPanel.Children.Add(myControl);

Also see here and here.

Any ideas as to why the app would be unresponsive after adding a usercontrol to a dockpanel? – IAbstract May 27 '14 at 17:43

@IAbstract, no that should not happen. – Lars Truijens May 27 '14 at 20:33

I actually figured this out - incorrect URI. :( Seems like this could be more gracefully handled. As soon as you inquire a property of the image, it just freezes. – IAbstract May 27 '14 at 21:19

Button TopRect = new Button();

TopRect.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightGreen);

TopRect.Height = 50;

TopRect.Content = "Top";

// Dock button to top

DockPanel.SetDock(TopRect, Dock.Top);

// Add docked button to DockPanel

dcPanel.Children.Add(TopRect);

Example

If your DockPanel's last element is floating in the middle of the panel, check that you've assigned myDockPanel.LastChildFill = false;
