    copied!<p>As source code editor you can use <a href="http://wiki.sharpdevelop.net/AvalonEdit.ashx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AvalonEdit</a> (it is great, in some aspects even better than VS code editor), solution explorer is fairly easy to create and debugger is way too language-specific to be a reusable component (you didn't specify what language are you developing for!).</p> <p>The whole thing can be packaged into <a href="http://www.sharpdevelop.net/opensource/sd/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AvalonDock</a>, so you get the draggable and dockable panels - it even has VS 2010-like skin (and again - is very easy to implement even with only very basic WPF knowledge).</p> <p>Or you can use the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb685612.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Visual Studio Isolated Shell</a> - it allows you to use the Visual Studio interface in your program (the end users don't have to have VS installed!), but it requires extensive knowledge of VS API (if you ever developed VS extension you know what I am talking about). For example Civilization V used this approach for it's modding environment, but the result smells as stripped VS with custom splash screen, not as professional product. There are many buttons and config. options that don't work, some features that would be expected from such program (and easy to do in custom app) didn't get in because it would be nigh impossible to implant them into the VSIS etc...</p> <p>EDIT: You may also eventually be interested in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4842736/where-can-i-get-themes-for-wpf-controls-that-resemble-the-visual-studio-2010-inte">this</a>.</p>
