In Windows Forms, I have created a Twitter application that gets the latest tweets from the Timeline using TweetSharp. I have used a UserControl and a Panel to display these. The code I've used to do this looks like this:
IEnumerable<TwitterStatus> tweets = service.ListTweetsOnHomeTimeline();
foreach (var tweet in tweets)
{
TweetBox t = new TweetBox();
t.username.Text = tweet.User.ScreenName; // Label
t.display.ImageLocation = tweet.User.ProfileImageUrl; // PictureBox
t.tweet.Text = tweet.Text; // Label
t.info.Text = tweet.CreatedDate.ToString();
t.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
HomeTimeline.Controls.Add(t); // Add to HomeTimeline Panel
}
I'm now re-making this application in WPF. The UserControl is in the same format, but I'm clueless as of how to add this to the panel and dock it to the top - or the equivalent in WPF. How do I do this?
A WinForms UserControl are not the same as a WPF UserControl.
You'll have to make the UserControl again, in WPF.
Of course, you could wrap the WinForms UserControl in a WindowsFormsHost element, but that's not good practice.

How to add user control to tab control in winforms and how to open entire tab control panel on single button click?
Before the question was edited:
Use System.Windows.Forms.Integration.Elementhost.
MSDN.
// Create the ElementHost control to host the WPF UserControl.
ElementHost WPFHost = new ElementHost();
WPFHost.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
// Create the WPF UserControl.
HostingWpfUserControlInWf.UserControl1 uc = new HostingWpfUserControlInWf.UserControl1();
// Add the WPF UserControl to the Host.
WPFHost.Child = uc;
// Add the ElementHost to the form.
this.Controls.Add(WPFHost);
Or you can use XAML to design Winform Project GUI
I'm working on a scorekeeping app in WPF for Darts, and part of it is to display the score, which the player has thrown. I'm trying to output it on the window using dynamically created labels like this:
Label throwLabel = new Label();
throwLabel.Content = score.ToString();
throwLabel.Style = Resources["BoardStats"] as Style;
throws.Children.Add(throwLabel);
Where throws is a Stack Panel and BoardStats is a style defined in app XAML. The problem is that when the label appears on the window, it doesn't have the style I have given it in the code above. How can I fix this?

Top-level Windows cannot be contained inside other Windows or "form"s if you want to call it that. If you need WPF content inside a winforms app you will need to place an ElementHost inside the form and place your WPF UI (probably in a WPF UserControl). But there's no way that any form or window will contain another Window.
I want to add a WPF Input Box in my Project in C#. I got a WinForm one from InputBox in C# but it has Winform look and feel. So i was recreating it in WPF. I have created all the controls (Label, Button, Textbox) but i am unable to add them to my window.

The Window is showing through ShowDialog but without controls.
There are two ways to get controls in your window:
Do the whole designing stuff in the Designer of VisualStudio
Add the controls by code. Here is a short, simple sample of creating a window and putting controls in it:
var window = new Window();
var stackPanel = new StackPanel { Orientation = Orientation.Vertical };
stackPanel.Children.Add(new Label { Content = "Label" });
stackPanel.Children.Add(new Button { Content = "Button" });
window.Content = stackPanel;
