What kind of project do you want to "change"?

Solution 2

First, WPF is also a "Windows project", so what do you want to "convert" or "change" to WPF?

Assuming this is a Forms project: you can possibly do it manually, as there is no one-to-one correspondence between them, and the controls are used is different way even though there are many similarities. Of course you have Label, TextBox and a lot more with nearly the same of slightly different properties; there is no PictureBox, but this is a pretty silly control which cause a lot of confusion in CodeProject inquirers already and in many cases when it is not actually needed. All the graphics it totally different, there is no anything like GDI, but WPF graphics is easier to use. Layout is totally different, but some ideas are common.

No, you don't, even for the purpose you describe. This is nearly useless thing. Your use of it was just a mistake, most likely; you could have used custom control. In WPF you need System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSource or one of derived classes, please see.

Actually, you can ask it as a separate question; give some more detail and post it.
As to this answer, I suggest you consider accepting it formally (green button) -- thanks.

Solution 1

WinForms and WPF interop well. do an upgrade where new modules are in WPF and replace old modules with WPF.

SA's Answer should clear all your doubts about Win-Forms and WPF.

Have a look at below links.

Plenty of Articles about WPF on CodeProject.
