What free or open source WPF diagramming libraries have you used before? I'm working on my thesis and have no money to pay for the commercial alternatives.
Valid answers should support undo/redo, exporting to XML and hopefully good documentation.
I'm building an open source UML / database diagramming tool.
sukram has a excellent series on CodeProject... it's a MUST READ!
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
This is a nifty diagramming control for WPF:

What kind of Diagram drawing you are looking for?
WPF has great set of basic control library which supports most mathematical drawing models like Spline Curve, Line, PolyLine, arc etc etc

I am not a designer by profession and don't really want to become one [not my cup of tea, I guess]. I want to gain some knowledge on graphics designing [mostly with XAML] so that I can at least work with Expression Design and Blend. Any book or video that can teach me some effects would be good.
What are you favorite resources to learn Expression Design and Expression Blend?
How can you learn to create effects like, shine on the button, etc?
Have a look at these courses and tutorials.
.Toolbox
They'll walk you thru various design scenarios and principles.
Just don't be afraid to try things out. Add lots of different layers on top of eachother with different gradients, a small line or curve here and there.
Designing is good when you combine your skills on word,symbols and images to create representation of ideas that creates visual comminucation and representation.
As I know Expression series has the ability to import other design tools like Photoshop and Illustrator.At least you dont need to draw in blend if you're already used them.
Check Microsoft's own Training videos here.
That's all I can find
Hope that makes you a designer :)

I need for a ready-to-use WPF contacts manager with source code (possibly in C#).
Incredibly, the web seems to be very poor on that side.
I've found these links for interesting implementation:
http://www.johnstagich.com/WPF/publish.htm -> No source code available
http://www.paulstovell.com/wpf-model-view-presenter -> source code broken link from undetermined time...
I don't need fireworks... just an implementation with basic contacts fields, able to manage some thousands of contacts and an embedded search engine.
I was initially tempted to use Microsoft LightSwitch, but it's already in Beta 1, and the intrinsic limitations of Silverlight made me change road.
Any suggestions?
Although this is not the answer you are looking for try using Karl Shifletts Xaml Powertoys to build simple data entry forms for you in WPF.

I'd like to find applications written, for example, on the Microsoft Silverlight platform. However, popular search engines such as the one integrated into SourceForge only list the root language, such as C#, and say little about XAML or Silverlight.
Does such a directory exist?
The only one that I know of is the Gallery at http://www.silverlight.net, but that is a listing of websites/projects done in Silverlight, but not open source (although some of them may be).
A search on http://www.codeplex.com for Silverlight does come up with a bunch of things though, it all depends on what you are looking for.

I have seen a lot of Carousels to show off WPF. I have never really need one before now though.
Is there a decent free one?
I have access to the Dev Express one, but I am making an open source project and would rather not put code in it that others cannot easily compile.
After some searching, I (re)found the free and fabulous FluidKit (http://fluidkit.codeplex.com/)
It has many controls that are great. One of them is the ElementFlow. This control has many great views methods. One of them is the Carousel view.
(Just as a side note, after looking at them all I think I like the VForm and CoverFlow views best. They are kind of a carousel like view, but can handle a lot of items with out needing resizing.)

Quick question:
Is it somewhere available - preferably free / opensource or at reasonable price?
EDIT
To be more precise, there's an example of winforms control (SandGrid from Divelements) what I'm looking for. Forming a tree is important, grouping by isn't necessary.
alt text http://www.divelements.com/net/controls/sandgrid/home1.gif
Vectorlight has a nice set of opensource Silveright controls (TreeView included ) they also have some silverlight tutorials. To download the dlls you must be registered (for free).
If you need the source code, use Reflector.
On Codeplex you can find a treelist/treegrid control. Unfortunately it is under the GPL2 Licence.
http://multicolumntreelist.codeplex.com/
You can find a TreeMap and a TreeView for free in the Silverlight Toolkit.
The Silverlight 4 DataGrid will have Grouping Support as well.
The Telerik suite has just what you need, the TreeListView:
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#TreeListView/FirstLook
http://www.liquidjelly.co.uk/supersearch/?q=telerik%20silverlight%20treelistview&lang=en-GB
Note: this control is currently in CTP, and unfortunately it's not that cheap.
