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.
Check them out under --> http://demos.telerik.com/wpf/

I'd like to convert my Windows Phone app to a silverlight web app, while keeping most of the code intact (so I don't have to maintain 2 different code bases). I've never built a Silverlight website before so I'd like to get some advise on how I should go about doing this.
Thanks!
Use the MVVM pattern and have device specific views. Take a look at MVVM light wich is a good framework for MVVM.

With windows 8 demonstrating 'native HTML 5 apps'.
The first thing that I think of is whether WPF has a place in this HTML 5 world. It kind of seems like Silverlight will stick around but I must ask : Where does WPF fit into the bigger picture microsoft is painting ?
All that's been said is that this (and where Silverlight , XNA, and C++ fit in) will be announced at the BUILD conference in September. Lots of rumors and speculation, but no announcements.
It's too early to tell. Just because Microsoft demoed a particular feature doesn't mean it's dropping everything else.

Are there any disadvantages to hosting a Windows Forms Control in a WPF Application?
My first thought is that performance might be hurt a little bit. Also, there is the air gap issue between the forms control and the wpf application.
What Jeff wrote plus there are also some graphical glitches as well (especially when resizing).
My experience:
Slight performance impact. Generally resolvable by using double buffering though...
Some Winforms events are not fired correctly or reliably. This is a known issue and has workarounds although I've found it pretty annoying.
In general though, I've hosted entire Winforms applications in a WPF Browser Application with success.

I'm writing a windows C# application which I wish to use data grid views, but unable to find a good tutorial on to take complete control of the datagrid eg: add columns, add data etc.
I like some of the tips provided here
You can take a look here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k39d6s23.aspx
But the best one might be this: http://www.macoratti.net/08/08/c_pdgv1.htm
I think you can get the idea from the code, since the comments are in portuguese (you can try google translate).
I highly recommend using an MVC/P pattern for implementing DataGridView in Winforms - it makes life a lot easier in the long run, even though it may seem a lot of work to do up front.

I need a Datepicker for a WPF application. What is considered to be the best one?
There is also the WPF Tool Kit which has a DatePicker/Calendar control
(i added emphasis because this is the answer)
This is an old question, but for the record I want to point out that this control is included with .NET 4.
I haven't used Marlon's, but I have used Kevin Moore's. At the time I used it, there were a number of bugs I had to work around. Other than those issues, it did seem to work well enough.
If you pay Telerik has a great DatePicker and Calender
I'm thinking of using this one: Marlon Grech Date Picker.
