I said nothing about your customers. I said my customers.


Ok then, let's leave the word ''customer' out altogether. You implied that WPF brings more value. Value is found in the ability of an application to help execs make better decisions, or shop workers to do their job better/faster/easer. The content of the data doesn't change because of a new look. Maybe some new way to sort or order helps a bit, but the value of the data is what's important.


I can tell you that our new WPF LOB app replaces an older C++ app (functionally & visually the same as Winforms). Customers love the look and it provides them more functionality and allows them to get their work done faster.


1) More functionality is a business decision. "While we're retooling, let's add in this & that". I get that all the time

2) Faster means you improved the time it takes to work with the data. Make it two clicks instead of 4. That kind of thing. Until the data is retreived and displyed, the user is waiting. How its displayed, pretty new WPF grid or native gridview, doesn't change the ability of the user to make decisions based on the content of what's actually being displayed in the grid.

3) The user's impression of how it looks is really of little value. When you bought Office, or VS, or any software you spend real money on, how much thought did you really give to how it looks?

Everything makes sense in someone's mind

In addition, an integer field is not for irrational people
