Drivertoolkitinstaller Key here. In the previous chapter, we talked about what WPF is and a little bit about WinForms. In this chapter, I will try to compare the two, because while they do serve the same purpose, there is a LOT of differences between them. If you have never worked with WinForms before, and especially if WPF is your very first GUI framework, you may skip this chapter, but if you're interested in the differences then read on. The single most important difference between WinForms and WPF is the fact that while WinForms is simply a layer on top of the standard Windows controls (e.g. A TextBox), WPF is built from scratch and doesn't rely on standard Windows controls in almost all situations.

This might seem like a subtle difference, but it really isn't, which you will definitely notice if you have ever worked with a framework that depends on Win32/WinAPI. A great example of this is a button with an image and text on it.

This is not a standard Windows control, so WinForms doesn't offer you this possibility out of the box. Instead you will have to draw the image yourself, implement your own button that supports images or use a 3rd party control. With WPF, a button can contain anything because it's essentially a border with content and various states (e.g.

Untouched, hovered, pressed). The WPF button is 'look-less', as are most other WPF controls, which means that it can contain a range of other controls inside of it.
