I am new to WPF and I need a ribbon control for my app.
I see there are lots of ribbon controls, it is confusing to choose
which one and why to use it. Can you please suggest me which one to use?
I use WPF and Visual Studio 2012, .NET 4.5.
THanks
When the RibbonControl was first introduced, it was an optional add-on to the .NET Framework. However, now in .NET 4.5, the RibbonControl is included. Therefore I would recommend that you use this latest version if you can.
Also, if you have seen a RibbonControl on the CodePlex website, then you should know that this is in fact comprised of the same set of UI controls.
You can find out more about the RibbonControl from the RibbonControl Class page on the official MSDN website.

You may know that .NET FCL does not have rich UI components out of the box.
I am looking for a free diagram designer framework for .NET, WinForms as well as WPF would be fine. A main feature I need is to display and edit tables with columns and relations between them with arrows. I think that Database Diagrams of MS Management Studio is a great example. If you know, how I could reuse that UI component in my custom application, please advise.
Nevertheless any advise, link will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Could anyone points me to good WPF DataGrid tutorials on the internet?
These are good ones, the second one is old but still good enough :)
www.wpftutorial.net
WPF DataGrid Examples
Not exactly a tutorial, but if you plan to do much with styling the DataGrid I've found this blog post useful:
Styling Microsoft’s WPF datagrid
Check this one:
DataGrid Feature Walkthrough
You might have a look at the BookLibrary sample application of the WPF Application Framework (WAF).

I remember once I found a nice online tutorial that showed how WPF works through nice exapamle of converting WinForm application into WPF. But I forgot link to it.
It was divided into multiple chapters. In first application was converted into WPF using WinForm "mindset" and then using specific technology of WPF (DataBinding, Controls, Templates) moved into (basicaly) MVVM, every chapter.
I tried searching, but every time I put WPF and WinForm in single query it shows only results about how to use WPF in WinForm or vice-versa or how to automaticaly convert WinForm into WPF.
Anyone can help??
That was most likely my series: From Windows Forms to WPF with MVVM.
Its basically an introduction to WPF from a Windows Forms perspective, showing how to transition to using MVVM architectural patterns, and why they provide a cleaner separation of concerns in your applications.

I'm coming from a web dev background, and do ok, but with WinForms, everything I make looks like crap. Can you guys point me to resources with WinForm design principles that will make my WinForms easier on the eyes?
Thanks!
Making WinForms look "Good" is a tall order. I have found it is best accomplished with a 3rd party package. Some the more popular...
http://www.devexpress.com/
http://www.infragistics.com/
http://www.telerik.com/
Of course, if you can move into the WPF you will have almost unlimited control on how you style the Ui elements....but, as pointed out by –nportelli, it will still look like crap out of the box.
You should try windows presentation foundation instead. That gives you the ability to build interfaces in a manner that's closer to the html you're familiar with.
Microsoft have their own guidelines for Windows GUIs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511440.aspx
YOu can also use http://www.devcomponents.com/dotnetbar/ or SliverLight, WPF

I’m looking for Silverlight component libraries (preferably commercial). So far I’ve found these:
ComponentOne
Telerik
DevExpress
Vectorlight
Infragistics
Xceed
Am I missing any?
I previously posted this question, I’m (still) searching for a Silverlight Image Editor. As part of my exploration I have to document that I at least checked "all the major vendors".
You forgot SyncFusion, and you really should not count XCeed, as they dont' appear to have anything useful for Silverlight (Xceed does have an impressive WPF grid tho).
I believe Componentone has the only image editing control for silverlight (called "bitmap" on their site). Judging from the demos it appears you can crop and manipulate images.
