I did a business app on the Windows Phone 8 platform (XAML, C#),
and used the microsoft.phone.toolkit to make an awesome calendar.
Now I need to rewrite the app for the Surface (winrt) and there is no easy way to this as far as I have searched, I got one perfectly fine calendar, Here, but I can't edit it to look like the rest of my metro app, so I would like any advice or links to classes I can use to get a calendar into my app? I don't have the time to create my own from scratch... But will do it if I can get a very good tutorial on where to start with it.
Actually, both of you guys point to exact same project I wrote sometime ago. If you want to change the look of the calendar, just create your own style that replaces the one that ships with nuget. The link from above does show a style that ships with it. You can either edit that one or (better) create your own and inject it through a resource dictionary. if you download project from CodePlex, it should show you how to replace default styles.
Thanks.

Where would I start if I want to create my own text editor on the UWP platform?
The TextBox and RichEditBox have many limitations that hinder my requirements for a text control, and so I would like to create my own. I know it will be a long tedious process, but I don't mind putting in the work. I just don't even know what APIs to begin with. Thanks.
I would suggest that you start by looking at source code that others have written. You can download the following projects from GitHub:
10Develops/textie
ph1ll/UwpEdit
jan-patrick/ScriptText
UWP-Open-Source-Community/Atom
springcomp/TextPad
karan-randhawa/Notepad-Sharp
ph1ll/UwpEdit
Besides reading the code and running in the Debugger, I would also suggest looking at the Commit history for these apps on GitHub, to see what problems the developers struggled with.

I want to create a simple windows form application which looks like Microsoft Word. I am using RichTextBox control right now. I did not find any way to make it have multiple pages, as Microsoft Word does. I just need a control (I guess it is RichTextbox) that can have multiple pages. I have tried RichTextBox but it was completely useless. Is there any other control or does Microsoft Word have any API to interact with through C# code? Is there any control to use?
This is the closest solution that I can suggest, but it is not exactly what you are asking for.
Basically, you can use some of the Microsoft office objects and classes, but it is not just a plug and play interface and requires some work on your end.
You may like this one too (again not a simple rich text control)

I want to use voice activated commands on my website. I have already implemented it on win forms using System.Speech.Recognition. However can't manage to use it on web application. Example code snippet would be appreciated.
Can I use it with web service?
Yes it is possible to have voice activated commands on your website, but it'll probably be difficult to refactor you winforms code. There are many articles around, so I suggest you google around a little bit further. You have the choice: you can go for the server-side route or you can use client-side frameworks (or some hybrid approach).
Another option is to use the browser's built in Speech recognition capabilities. Chrome, for example, has this which can turn any input field into a speech-aware input field.

Due to the nature of the keywords, I find it difficult to easily google this. I want to implement a "help" item on the menu bar that will launch some basic documentation for the user to read, after I have written it. Are there any standards or libraries I should be aware about before diving into this aspect? The program incorporating the "help" functionality will be a C# WPF Desktop application.
Example from MS Word :
I'm sure they don't reinvent the wheel every time they use the help function, and I don't want to either. Where can I look to find something open source that is similar to this functionality and maybe some general guidelines on how to write help for non-technical and technical users?
I think that following links should be useful for you.

I want to visualize components and connections of a HVAC system with .NET/C#.
The diagrams will just include a few different components and their connections.
They do not have to comply to any formal standard and should look alike the diagrams attached. In addition the user should be able to select a single component/connection (so that I can display additional data).
Which free drawing/charting library would you use and why?
Thanks for your time.
Julian,
Please check out GraphSharp: http://graphsharp.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx
Small/open source C# library on Git renders to HTML5 (You can modify to render to for example WPF or Winform as well)
https://gridwizard.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/simple-c-library-to-render-graph-to-flowchart
I would try to host VS studio designer in application , how you can host workflow designer for instance. Read about VS extensibilities
It doesn't get more free than System.Drawing...
Seriously, given your requirements I'm not sure you need a framework or library. The most complex part of the system you describe is drawing the lines between components. If that doesn't have to get fancy (automatic layout, detecting where the lines overlay other lines/boxes) then you can probably roll the whole thing custom.
