Is there an appropriate control to create an Icons Menu in Windows Mobile 6 or 6.5?
I am creating my own user control, but its hard to belive that such an important feature is missing.
This is the user control that I am developing:
Thanks in advance.
The native menu does not support icons or graphics, it always was text only.
You may have to mimic the native menu behavior and show your app in full screen to disable the standard menu bar.

Some apps have the ability to show or hide an icon's name right under the icon in Windows 10 Mobile. The text's visibility is toggled when the user clicks on the 3 dots beside the icons - Photos, OneDrive, Outlook,...
Is that done by some ui element property or some other built in way, or was it just written to behave the same from scratch? My goal, of course, is to add that to my app.
I am assuming you are talking about the Command Bar control

I am creating a Windows universal app but can't find out how to create a menu like you can find in the groove music app on windows phone 10.
You can create menus like these with the Splitview control. It was introduced with Windows 10. See Docs here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.splitview.aspx
Little hint: The Button on the upper left to show and hide the menu is not part of the Splitview control and has to be created manually.
You can find this Menu in several samples including mine on github:

I've seen several post regarding custom 'task' being added to WPF applications but I haven't found a compatible way to do this in Windows Forms.
Note: I'm not referring to the system notification tray.
For example, if you right click Google Chrome icon in the Windows 7 Taskbar you'll see a menu like this:
I want to do the same thing in a C# Windows Forms Application. Is it possible or does it have to be in WPF?
I just came late to the party. There is a feature called 'Jumplists' which would helps you to add a new taskbar feature on right clicking the application icon: Go through the tutorial

I am aware of app bar icons and menu items in Windows phone. What I want it is an app bar similar to phone's default windows phone store where it shows up "try", "buy" and share in menu item... How can I achieve this? I looked into documentation of ApplicationBar, but it didn't help.
I want normal buttons to be inside application bar.. If that is not possible in appbar how can I mock something similar to the one which shows up in windows phone store..
Not sure that it is possible
Though, you may try to take a look at some custom appbars. For example, Cimbalino appbar is made as behavior (so it supports binding) - probably, you'd be able to set button's style either.
How do I create side menu in .net windows application? Is there any possible way to implement this using MDI or should I use some kind of splitter control? Or if you may know to do it with devexpress control, it would be nice too.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean with a side menu but the following 2 codeproject articles discuss creating menus similar to the one in older versions of Outlook if that's the kind you mean?
