>You are absolutly correct. I have zero experience with it. And from I can see by reading the propaganda, there isn't anything there that makes me think, "I can't do my job without this". As I said earlier, I've been coding for 25 years. I have no trouble at all developing C# WinForm apps, and not one of mu customers has ever come to me & said, "Your app just isn't flashy enough". Like I said in response to Craig, If it ain't broke, I ain't fixing it.

If you believe that using WPF is all about writing 'flashy' apps then I think you are sadly (and apparently permanently) mistaken. That said I'm happy to accept that you can deliver what your customers require using WinForms - I don't have an issue with that.
But why disparage something which, by your own admission, you have never used on the basis that you don't need it?

Best,
