Do you know about the free .Net component for graphic design and graphic stream editing?

Question

My application (C # 4, WinForms, Entity Framework, SQL Server 2008) stores a graph of interconnected objects, each of which has several simple member fields and a set of several links to other objects directed (incoming and outgoing) to each other.

I would like to offer the user the ability to visually view and edit this graph, create and delete connections, change the values ​​of the attributes of objects and enter / delete objects.

I believe that for this there should be a framework (in the list a primitive view), since tools for visual modeling of design are quite common. Do you know someone?
