You can use winRT XAML Toolkit. It provides many controls for us, such as TreeView, ImageButton and so on.

i'm developping on vb using visual studio 2013.
in my application i'm focusing on the graphics part more than the code. I'm looking if there is any other styles that i can apply for my forms, buttons , textboxs ... other than the classic forms and textboxs ?
for example can i create some buttons like the windows 8 buttons without creating a windows store project.
I suppose you work with vb and WinForms? If so, you might wanna try working with WPF instead of WinForms. To describe it very vagualy, it allows you to define your ui by xml (like css).
May I know if it is possible to have one header menu in all windows forms?
And if so, how can I make it?
Yes its possible to have one header menu in all windows forms using MDI.
MDI is a popular interface because it allows you to have multiple documents (or forms) open in one application. Examples of MDI applications include Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint®, and even the Visual Studio integrated development environment itself. Each application consists of one (or more) parent windows, each containing an MDI client area—the area where the child forms (or documents) will be displayed. Code you write displays as many instances of each of the child forms that you want displayed, and each child form can only be displayed within the confines of the parent window—this means you can't drag the child forms outside the MDI container.
For more details refer this blog.
Hope this will help you.
Two ways:
Add a User Control to your solution, place a Menu in the User Control and build the application. Then in the ToolBox you have the menu control that you can use on all forms.
Make a WinForm with a Menu then Inherit all your other forms from the base one.
One solution for this is that you can create MDI application.
I want to create UI for home page like a Window 8 for desktop application in vb.net using devexpress controls. How can I design the UI?
And I want to use TileLayoutControl for it. But I don't know how to use the tile controls of devexpress. How can I create my home page like Window8 Home page? I want to put various menus on home page as a Tile and when I click on 1 menu the form should be open.
I believe the desktop application is equals to WinForms/WPF application in the context of this question.
So, with DevExpress WinForms you can start from here: DocumentManager Windows UI View Overview.
Please also check the Windows UI View Examples.
With DevExpress WPF Controls you can start from here: Windows UI controls for WPF Overview.
Please also check the Windows UI controls for WPF Examples.
If you mean the Windows Store(WinRT) application please use the DevExpress Windows 8 XAML Controls. Check the Windows 8 XAML Controls Getting Started.

I'm using controls from DevExpress to develop desktop application in VB.NET. Now, I want to add context menu also from DevExpress. But I cannot find such control in toolbox. Is it missing only in my version or DevExpress has not developed such context menu yet?
Thank you in advance
The XtraBars Suite allows you to create multi-purpose popup menus.
These menus can be used as dropdown lists for toolbar or ribbon buttons
