I was wondering what is the best way to go on this one. My intention is to better learn C# by making a game and an appropriate GUI.
My game would have been something like ZooTycoon (http://www.gamespot.com/zoo-tycoon/)
but much more simple.
As I really don't intend to learn a new language (like DirectX) only to write GUI for this application I would prefer something simpler but handy. Does that even exist?
I would recommend looking at SlimDX or SharpDX.

I work as a system developer, mainly programming information systems in C# for web, desktop and server environments. Now I'd like to have a go at game development in C# just for the sake of the challenge and expanding my horizons, but where do I start? I've had a look at XNA, but I heard that it's on the way out.
Where does one begin?
I know this says "Teens" but it may be worth a look: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Visual-Programming-Teens-Course-Technology/dp/1435458486/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1371394387&sr=8-3&keywords=c%23+game
I just saw this today funnily enough, I have no affiliate with the author (or Amazon)

Other than AWT, Swing, SWT (Java) - are there any good open source Java or C# UI libraries around? In particular, libs intended or at least usable for strategy gaming dev? (The visual appearance of the UI would need to be highly dynamic and easy to re-skin obviously.) Engines or "frameworks" which include this functionality are valid answers as well (of course I even more doubt that those exist).
As far as I can tell - there's not a single thing like this out there. Anyone able to prove me wrong?
Not sure about Java, but for C# I would look at either XNA or Unity to start out with.

I would like to be able to capture screenshots with C++ 'using a lot of compression', and/or more importantly 'uses very few system resources when capturing'. I have been looking for concise, well-written examples, and I think I have found a few. What I've found is that most of the examples are in C# and very few are in C++. I'm sure there's a somewhat simple/common answer, and it's foolish to ask. Why do people use C# instead of C++?
Why do people use C# instead of C++?
Because it's easier.
C++ gives you a lot of control over everything, and with that extra control comes extra responsibility and more work. If you just want to get something done quickly, using C# is usually sufficient.

In our real life Java and C# both has a significant effect. Personally I love Java because of its complexity also I have experience in C# too. I want to know, from desktop application to robotics, web application to machine learning what are the fields which are possible in Java but not currently available in C# and vice versa. Thank you.
Given both languages are Turing complete, anything you can do in one language you can do in the other.

Does anyone know the best opensource for .NET controls?
With Dev Express, Telerik, they so cool, but they are commercial version.
You can already find quite a lot of interesting stuff on Codeplex. And of course there's no stopping yourself to create your own custom controls for your application. Take a look at these tutorials: Developing Custom ASP.NET Server Controls..
How about Mono’s re-implementation of Windows Forms?
