| It is the latest concept for building desktop/windows applications. | This is the old way to build desktop applications for Windows. |
| A markup language is used to design the UI, allowing complex user interfaces to be designed. | No markup language is used to design UI. Instead, event-driven controls are used. |
| Comparatively to WinForms, it provides effective and fully supported data BINDING. In data binding, a connection is established between the application UI (User Interface) and the data that the application displays. | Although it offers data binding, it does so in a limited way, so it's less effective than WPF. |
| Besides providing 2D and 3D vector capabilities, it also offers functionality such as rich, interactive, animated, hardware-accelerated functions. | In comparison to WPF, it does not provide rich, interactive, animated, hardware accelerated, vector 2D and 3D features. |
| It is not easy to use WPF as it requires good knowledge of the controls. | When developing applications, Windows forms are more convenient. |
| There is no limit to the customization of the UI, and the controls can be modified without difficulty since it is written from scratch. | It typically contains limited controls that are not easy to customize. |
| This is an efficient approach when building an application that requires a variety of media types, creates a skinned user interface, binds to XML, and creates a desktop application that has a web-like navigation STYLE. | When you want to develop a simple application with few modern features and more resources online, it is considered good. |
