You may want to take a look at this CodeProject article, concerning how to create a diagram designer in WPF: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPFDiagramDesigner_Part1.aspx

Answer 2

Sounds like a fun, but big project.

I'd start here: Creating Your Own Drawing Application with Visual Basic .NET, Part 1. It's VB.NET, but it's a good start, and it';s all about the framework. Hopefully, you can translate VB.NET to C#.
