Hey pan,
as far as I remember there was nothing removed in V1.8. I think the reason for the missing toolstrip object would be that it is no longer shown in the VS designer toolbox.
You say you are using a dummy header control but you get an error inside MenuBarHeaderControl which is the default header control included in DotSpatial.
I'm sorry but I can't figure out where your error comes from without having a look at the code you're running.
Why do you use a dummy header control anyway?
