How can I render some graphics using XNA to a widget/control in a WPF app? Specifically, I don't need any WPF controls inside the XNA graphics window, I just want to put some controls around it for a level editor.

Nick Gravelyn explains how to do it on his blog.
Although, if it's just for an editor, you may find using WinForms is easier and better supported.

\$\begingroup\$ Really? I only made the switch because WPF is all the rage. I don't mind WinForms at all actually...never really cared for XAML. Binding is pretty cool though....gotta figure out the equivalent of binding in WinForms... \$\endgroup\$– mpenCommented Nov 8, 2010 at 6:14

You can use reflection to snag the Direct3D render target handle and hook it up with D3DImage. I've done this successfully with WPF and XNA 3.1, but I had some issues with XNA 4.0 because they changed the surface format mappings. But supposedly other people have gotten it working with XNA 4.0.
