I'm looking for a decent free control, library, or tutorial that allow graphing on .NET CF... I'm currently using v2.0 but can probably upgrade to 3.5.
I will also want to be able to save the graph as an image.
Two years ago i did nearly the same search and found several one, but nothing really excited me. Here are my old result:
Mooseworks Trend Graph Control
MindFusion PocketChart
Steema TeeChart
QCChart2D CF Charting Tools
QCRTGraph CF - Real-Time Graphics Tools
Maybe one or all of them released new versions in the meantime with better performance, but better check it for yourself.
How much functionality do you actually need?
For a CF project I did in the past, we just used a few bitmaps as the background grid and drew the plots on there. It was pretty simple and low-tech, but I was surprised at how well it served us.

I am looking for any open source/free graph(charting) library in C/C++ or C#. Just like free JfreeChart in java.
Does anyone know it?
I'm a big fan of gnuplot... It's open-source and very versatile.
You can try Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 for .Net.
Samples are also available.
Take a look at MathGL
DynamicDataDisplay for C# is free and a quite efficient way of charting data. It supports quick pans and zooms.

I'm looking for a free, syntax-highlighting, possibly autocompleting "Programmer's textbox" style control for use in a Visual Studio Windows Forms or WPF project. It should work with C# and self-defined languages, and the licence should permit its use in a closed, in-house development tool.
There are pay-for solutions available - something like http://www.syncfusion.com/products/user-interface-edition/windows-forms/Edit would work fine - but I am looking for something simpler, and would prefer not to pay for unnecessary functionality. Any ideas?
I've been using the SharpCode.TextEditor for a few cases, and it works quite well - including syntax highlighting and all.
Check out this Using ICSharpCode.TextEditor article on CodeProject for an intro.
To download it, go to the SharpDevelop web site and download the latest sources. One of the projects included is the Text editor, which you can easily isolate into its own assembly or sub project - you get all the source code, after all!
Scintilla is a powerful, open-source code editing component, and there is a .NET control available for it.

I would like to achieve something very similar to Microsoft Access query designer - I am talking about a plane(canvas?)-like surface on which users can place and move controls. Is this even possible?
If it isn't possible with free .NET controls - then are there any paid ones, which offer similar functionality?
Anything is possible if you try hard enough.
I would explore WPF, it will provide capabilities to custom build your own controls and will get rid of that tedious work of keeping the UI updated.
Make sure to follow a good UI pattern if you do end up working with WPF, here is a good video that explains how to implement MVVM in WPF.

I work in a shop that has a number of very good C# developers who have been using ASP.NET WebForms and would like to move to a MVC framework. To make things more complicated, we would also like to be able to run this under mono.
So my question is, are there any good MVC frameworks for mono, that have been tried and tested in the real world or are we better with Windows Server and IIS?
I've used Castle Monorail in Mono 2.0, and haven't had any problems.
I'm pretty sure you can run django with ironpython under mono. I haven't ever tried it but maybe you should check it out.
Sorry if this was unhelpful as you mentioned C# which django is not...
Give a look to http://netfluid.org/ it's a new interesting .net web server and it works on mono

I am looking for some (preferably) online tutorials on making controls with 'Rich design-time support'
By Rich design time support i mean like how the menustrip works on a form and such.
Any links to websites, good books or code samples (c# or vb.net) would be great.
You can start with Dissecting A C# Application which goes into many aspects of creating SharpDevelop, C# IDE written in .NET. This covers many aspects of the designer architecture and it is free in a PDF. However, the PDF is hard to find (original links no longer work, but I believe this is a valid copy).
While that will get you started on the ins and outs of the designer, it probably doesn't go into detail on some of the more interesting features such as actions and tasks. For this, MSDN has some extensive information and examples (it didn't used to).
Finally, I find the best resource to be .NET Reflector. Using this tool to look at how Microsoft has done it in various places within the framework has been a great learning exercise when working in design-time support areas. Find a control that does what you want and then go see how it does it.
All of these resources are free, however your time is not. I have found that design-time support can be a breeze in some areas but a complete nightmare in others. Good luck.
