See this question for Winforms

See this for WPF

EDIT

If you really want to develop the ribbon yourself you have to realize that it will take a lot of effort.

There are two main reasons that it will cost you a lot of work.

Microsoft has a patent (pending?) on the looks and functionality of the ribbon. They are willing to allow you to build your own BUT you'll have to stick to their guidelines and you have to sign a license that you will do that.
The users will expect the ribbon to be the same too and the sheer amount of features is enormous.

All in all a lot of work. But if it is to learn from it might be worth it. For production code I'd pick a Microsoft implementation.

You may install Dotnetbar and has all that you need.

It has all the Office2007 looking controls such as LabelX, MessageBoxX etc. (for C# Label, MessageBox etc. respectively) to RibbonBar, RibbonPanel etc.
