You need to add it to your toolbox in order to get it recognised by the Visual Studio IDE.

you haven't added dockpanel in form!!!
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DockPanel dockPanel = new DockPanel();
dockPanel.Parent = this;
dockPanel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
Controls.Add(dockPanel);
panel2.Parent = dockPanel;
panel1.Parent = dockPanel;
dockPanel.Controls.Add(panel1);
dockPanel.Controls.Add(panel2);
panel1.Dock = DockStyle.Left;

this.Controls.Add(dockPanel);
}
