When should I use WPF instead of Windows Forms?(Is Windows
Forms dead?)
WPF is clearly more suitable for applications
with rich media, but some people have said that Windows Forms is the best
choice for business applications with traditional user interfaces. I think this
belief is based on first versions of WPF in which many standard controls didn’t
exist (such as TreeView, ListView, and OpenFileDialog) and a visual designer
didn’t exist, making traditional Windows application development in WPF harder
than in Windows Forms. Although Windows Forms still has useful controls that
WPF lacks (such as DataGridView and PropertyGrid) and at the time of writing
has a larger set of third-party controls in the marketplace, WPF has compelling
features even for traditional user interfaces (such as the support for resolution
independence or advanced layout).
