Hi Kal,

The technology I am most familiar with, in those you mentioned, is WPF and I'll try to explain what it is. All of them are part of .NET 3.x package.
WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is the Windows Form class library replacement. In short this will give you the ability to create better looking, user interfaces compared with the aging Windows Forms UIs. (Although some might find this description reductive)

To use it you need to download an extention for VS.2005 or better still get VS.2008 when it comes out and create a WPF project (You will be allowed to chose the type as you create a new project)

There are a lot of introductory tutorial out there which will give you more info.
