There are lots of tutorials on doing things in WinForms. It has been the primary GUI development for the .NET developer for years and years. Like any technology people want more from it. More options, faster processing, greater flexibility, more compatibility with other devices. Thus Windows Presentation Foundation was born. WinForms is not dead. I don't expect it to even be retired for years.... There is a bit of a learning curve for the WinForms developer making the transition. I hope this tutorial helps reduce that curve for you and make that transition a little easier. How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the XAML.

Great idea but poorly executed in my opinion - too verbose, the content could have been reduced to a couple of paragraphs. Not to mention the painful grammar.

It's a tutorial, not a quick reference sheet. Verbosity is preferred to terseness. The latter fails because it almost inevitably ends up assuming things someone new to the platform doesn't know and fails to explain why things are platform best practice and not just the authors preferred style.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.
