I know there are some MVVM frameworks, such as MVVM Toolkit, MVVM Light, and Prism.
I was wondering with which one of those MVVM frameworks is it easier and faster to develop an application?
It depends, but i prefer the mvvm-light. Its very lightweight and easy to use.
You should watch the creator's two videos from mix: video1 video2.
I suggest you WAF it is an opensource framework for generating MVVM.
It is really easy to use
Easier and faster is relative. From my experience though you can't go wrong with Caliburn Micro or Mvvm Light. Caliburn Micro's screens and conductors, among others, are a very nice feature.

In a interview,i had been asked to a question that,
Can we create WPF application using MVC or MVP design pattern or practice. I said MVC or MVP is a design pattern to develop loosely coupled application. we'll use MVC,MVP or MVVM based on given scenario,context,technology and platform of application.
If We can Create WPF application using MVC or MVP,if you have any good example in form of code or PoC, then please share or explain.
MVC, MVP and MVVM all are UI design pattern. There is no restriction on using these pattern with WPF. But if we are using MVVM pattern we can take advantage of WPF feature like data binding etc..
Reference: - MVVM vs MVP vs MVC

So I've been developing in WPF on and off for a little while, and so far labored at making my controls look and behave sleek and intuitively from scratch. The only control suite I've checked out were Infragistics.
What are some cool/sleek/useful/time saving WPF controls you've come across of?
Very nice and free set of controls for displaying graphs: DynamicDataDisplay. Two major flaws - lack of documentation and project seems to be abandoned. But being compared to other libraries I've tried it is the most perfectly constructed.
We`re using the Telerik RadControls! Really good quality, good documentation, good forum support and really cool look and feel.

Prism
Cinch
MVVM Light
From the above which one you people will suggest?. Is there any good framework available which is more flexible when compare to this?. (Right now i am concentrating on WPF projects and later i will move to Silverlight). At that stage will it easy to convert from one framework to another or we have to do the same thing from the scratch?
You have to try them out yourself to make an informed decision. I personally like MVVM Light and it does have Silverlight support. Obviously you will also be interested in the framework staying around / gaining mind/market share so your investment (in time and research) won't go away.
This podcast might be interesting with you on the topic:
Hanselminutes Podcast 241 - The MVVM Pattern with Laurent Bugnion
They are covering MVVM fundamentals and two specific frameworks - MVVM Light and Caliburn, another MVVM framework that is not on your list yet.
MVVM is the pattern. Prism, MVVM Light and Cinch aren't patterns, they're frameworks that help you to implement the MVVM pattern.
I've experience MVVM Light and it's fine for what I need but I believe Prism is more feature rich but requires more work to implement?
my view is keep it simple, and just use the WPF teams MVVM toolkit

I've been playing a lot with MVC lately in the forms of ASP.NET MVC and Django (MTV actually) and I must say that I love it.
Are there any similar frameworks for creating desktop WinForm apps?
Not that I know of.
Most of my Winforms apps use the MVC or MVP pattern though. I've noticed that when creating Winforms apps you don't really need much of a framework. There is no routing infrastructure and no view-rendering. I find that I don't have to do much plumbing to use these patterns.
That might explain why there are no high profile frameworks in that space.
A winforms app blends the view and controller into pretty much one thing, the form. In other words, you are working with a model view/controller pattern. Much of the work for the view and controller is already done.

Please suggest a good MVC framework for Winforms.
