What is the difference between WPF and WinForms?

Question

I am programming simple Windows apps. I don't need DB support. Why would I use WPF instead of WinForms?

question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1337345/what-is-the-difference-between-wpf-and-winforms

Answer 1

• To learn.
• To have greater (i.e. any) control over the appearance of your program
• To benefit from easier data binding, triggers, styles

(I don't see what DB support has got to do with it)
