: WPF vs Windows Forms
: Unbr0ken December 16, 2011, 01:36:18 PM

I've been reading about this, and... well, it seems that WPF wins.

After struggling with the Windows Forms controls and their cons, I decided to try it with WPF, but I don't know how great would be the difference of code.

Did you work with WPF?... Is it really faster than Windows Forms?, How much change/modify/affect the C# code?

So the real question is: Is WPF better than Windows Forms?

Thx4Read.

If you have not. Read this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/42636e55-a1e0-4b29-bbd1-cd8073585584/ It pretty much sums it all up.

Wow, interesting thread, but it doesn't talk about the speed of each one, and that is what i'm looking for.

However tyvm...

I would think WPF is slightly faster. But its .NET anyway, compared to other languages its kinda crap. And everything GUI got its limitations.

Well, thanks for the info, but I didn't ask you if .NET was crap or not.

On the other hand, what language do you think is best for developing applications with excellent GUI's and adequate performance? ... (Please, don't talk me about any Borland product)

C or C++ will do you well. Might be a bit harder than .NET GUI development tho :P My uncle swears to the Qt framework for C++, never used it personally tho. Might be something to look into.

I see, for now i'd rather the .NET IDE, is extremely nice and it applications looks almost perfect. With C++... hmmm, lot of work. The only bad thing i see in .NET is the .NET Framework requirement. So, i'd continue with C# & WPF.

Thanks for all ;)..
