Any help on existing tab control like Chrome tabs?
I have been searching all over for mutitabs control that allows dragging each tab, with no luck.
I looked for something similar a while back and ended up building my own. There are docking frameworks out there, but that was not what I was looking for.
I used the FabTab on codeplex as a starting point. I removed the features we didn't want and added others, like dragging from one tab control and dropping it on a second to move the tab, and having tabs on all 4 sides at once, if desired.
I know I am very late to the party but after working on multiple projects where I implemented this I have started a new open source library:

Are you looking for WPF or WinForms? DevExpress and Infragistics both have tabbed MDI controls for WinForms. They seem designed to replicate the Visual Studio tabs, but you should be able to customise them to match Chrome.
Edit: as an open-source starting point you could try the one by Weifen Luo. It doesn't seem as customisable as the commercial ones, although I believe it supports rearrangement by dragging.

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)

My challenge is to create a WPF application which allows the user to add / place a set of controls (gauges, charts, etc.) dynamically on a canvas at runtime and save the view (control coordinates etc.) they have designed. Those controls will display real time information from connected machines.
I'd like to know if there are any commercial or open source solutions available for this scenario. I am also grateful for any hints on where to start.
This is pretty simple stuff. If you use a Canvas and bind it to a list of items (x, y, rotation, z order, data source etc), then use ItemTemplates to style the individual control styles, then serialize the whole lot for saving/loading.
Edit: this post might give you some pointers Is it possible to bind a Canvas's Children property in XAML?
You could also try the SharpDevelop WPF Designer https://github.com/icsharpcode/WpfDesigner

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.

Following this question from last year. I am checking two open source ribbon controls:
Fluent
Odyssey
Do you have any experience (good or bad) with any of them? or perhaps know of another open source ribbon control?
Follow up:
After using both of them, I gave up Odyssey cause it had a lot of bugs. I then switched to Fluent and I have only good words to say about it.
I've been trialling the WPF toolkit. Bear in mind - it's not open source per se - you don't get the source code. However, I believe it is free for use etc.
It's reasonably easy to use and has some reasonable commanding support. The documentation is not particularly in-depth, but it looks good - same as the ribbon used in Office 2007 etc. and has a few themes.
I'd say give it a look before spending money on a third party commercial ribbon control.
there is one included in the WPF toolkit dont know how good/bad it it. we use one that we bought.

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.
