Are there any libraries which
I draw graphics and design everything with Inkscape, because I love that program. Then I have those stunning svgs and have to either export them to png (WinForm) to use them or convert them to xaml-code (WPF) (Kaxaml helps me).
Is there a way to directly use my svgs?

Sorry to resurrect this post, but I think this information has value: an SVG is essentially a one-to-one match with a WPF Path. So other than some superficial markup adjustments, you should be able to just bring the SVG right into your WPF application.
I have tried SVG.NET with WinForms and it works excellent. Show activity on this post. If you are using the webbrowser control for SVG, you will have a problem with Access Violation due to Data Execution Prevention. For additional information see this link.
Yes you can, both Windows Forms within a WPF application, and WPF controls within Windows Forms.
It is simple to use WinForms as controls can be used easily, it's less time-consuming and less tricky as compared to WPF.
Wow, I just read that Inkscape supports saving as XAML. I didn't realize that up to now shame.
But that still doesn't solve my problems with WinForms...

I personally hate how there's no native support for SVG in Microsoft's products/development tools. I've found two fairly complete but still immature SVG libraries that seem to be active as of this writing, definitely in need of contributors though.
IIRC both libraries output a Drawing object which can be used directly through the Image class; You'll figure it out, they're both pretty straightforward to use.
