Create Visual Studio Like Properties Page (Not Property Grid)

Question

I'm interested in creating a control that looks similar to the Visual Studio 2010 Property page using WPF. Not the property grid (which is what all my searches have returned) but the actual property page for the project.

Here is an image:

Any suggestions on the best way to do this?

Thanks!

I am sorry, I thought you mean an ASP control. here is the WPF one:
first the markups:

XML

<Grid>
    <StackPanel Name="Tabs" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="70">
        <StackPanel Name="Tab1" >
            <Label Content="Tab1" Height="30" />
        </StackPanel>
        <StackPanel Name="Tab2" >
            <Label Content="Tab2" Height="30" />
        </StackPanel>
    </StackPanel>
    <StackPanel Name="Contents" Margin="70,0,0,0" >
        <StackPanel Name="Content1">
            <Label Content="Content  Content  Content" />
            <Label Content="Content  Content  Content" />
        </StackPanel>
        <StackPanel Name="Content2" Visibility="Hidden">
            <Label Content="Content  Content  Content" />
            <Label Content="Content  Content  Content" />
        </StackPanel>
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

after that handle the clicks on the tabs to togle the visibility of the contents.

Thanks for the help, but it turns out the TabControl can do this already, see my solution. Thanks!
