Is their a free template of accordion which behaves like Outlook? When the user adjusted its grid, the accordion item will form an images, stack horizontally?
There is an accordion in the Silverlight toolkit, but it's not quite "Outlook like".

You can customize it, but I found it a bit complex. there are some good examples in the Expression Gallery. eg.

and I just found this that might help

in my project we have a reoccurring dialog layout that i'm hoping to consistently replicate between each of the similar dialogs.
In the template dialog, we have a grid that contains a logo and in the center of the dialog has controls specific to that particular instance of the dialog
my hope is to somehow consistently replicate the look, like a template, across each of the dialogs.
I think I want a layout control, where content can be added to the center of the grid
I want to use Blend, such that our designers can manipulate the controls specific to the individual dialog while looking at the template
is there a way to do this? I'm I looking in the wrong direction by thinking of a custom layout control? would I be better off with some type of grid template?
Here is a great way to do this - How to create a WPF UserControl with NAMED content
my preferred is not the answer to the above question, rather the comment
"The answer is to not use a UserControl to do it.
Create a class that extends ContentControl"
We have a WPF app where we'll have a collection of photos. We'd like the user to be able to scroll through them using the now-ubiquitous method seen on iPhones and Androids where you select the list of things and slide it over... the speed at which you slide determines the number of items you navigate through.
Is there an existing third-party WPF control that can do this?
Thanks in advance.
This answer may be useful for you. A free carousel implementation:

Devexpress also has a carousel, but I'm not sure the cost.
I'm new to wpf and have just been given a project to create a set of custom controls which will be used to make a previous windows forms application more manageable and current. However I cannot seem to find much info with regards to customising the built in Listbox, this would involve preferably replacing the scroll bar and the +/- buttons with custom images etc..
Just wondered if anyone knows how to get at these ?
Thanks in advance.
Check here for the default control template of the listbox.You can customize the scrollviewer there to do what you are looking for.Check the below article to get started
Using Templates to Customize WPF Controls
Learn about WPF styling and templating. Other than that, the question is too generic for SO. Read the article (and perhaps google some more articles on the topic), try to style the listbox and come back with specific issues. WPF is not easy to get into, but it is definitely worth the time.
I'm looking for a free WPF control that can show a gird like windows explorer's thumbnail new, rows of images with some info under each thumb, it would be added benefit if it could be switched to detail and list view too but for now the thumbnail view is the most important,
I'm not that familiar with WPF's built-in controls so this might very well exist in the framework (this is my first WPF project)
Thanks,
This StackOverflow topic can help you.
I'd like to build an own control, but therefore I need to know if its possible to combine a Textbox event with a Popup more or less like the Datepicker Control.
Or is there a better way to do this than with a Popup?

Sure you could do this. In fact look at the DatePicker as an example of how you might do that. I'd imagine your control would be a composite of TextBox, Button and Popup controls.
You can download the complete source to the Silverlight Toolkit from the CodePlex Silverlight Toolkit project site.
And you can get the source and unit tests for the Beta 2 Release 1 controls at Shawn Burke's blog.
Neither of these may be exactly what you're looking for, but they might get you on the right track.
