WPF is nice if you are a inhouse developer and you know all your target
PC`s meet the requirments .

At this moment i do not yet take it as a serious alternative for classic
winforms . it is nice play stuff but not mature enough IMHO

1) Windows forms is not being developed further
2) They are completely different technologies
3) WPF is new, Win forms old. Not sure what you are objecting to?

I was simply trying to establish which technologie the op was using.

Only true for the controls, some classes will I hope be redesigned, but at
the moment you need still by instance the OpenFileDialog, which is in the
form namespace, in WPF, (if it is a replacement for a form application an
according to your own message we are talking about that in my idea)

That is from the point of view too this technology, for me it is quit the
same as I use it in Visual Studio 2010 (also in Silverlight now)..

Yea, but does that conclusion mean that you should be replaced direct by new
born babies too?

What I want to say is, it is preferable for a new solution to go for WPF,
but when you first look in the toolbox (also 3rd party) of both, than you
have at the moment at least something that can make that you use it first
for a smaller project than direct for a huge one.

Windows forms is in maintenance mode. They are not developing it further.
Basically, bug fixes only.

I'm not sure what you mean by this? The OpenFileDilaog is a system component.
In either case WPF or Winforms it is calling the native windows api. They are
simply using different wrappers.

I have no idea what you are saying? Winforms and WPF are completly different.
VS2010 or not.

I don't know what your are getting at. I was trying to establish if the OP is
using winforms or wpf. He asked a question about the differences. I gave
them.
