Windows Forms Dead. WPF Long Life

Question

In PDC sessions, I see only Framework 4.0, Azure, and WPF.

My all applications are in windows and asp.net (codebehind), as well as under 2.0 or 3.5. I see that I am out of date, approx. But my questions are: Windows Forms is dead, do I need to start migrating to WPF or Silverlight? or can my Windows forms with Devexpress leave for more than 3 years?

Answer 1

I don’t think I would say that WinForms is dead ... is DOS dead? Have you ever written a console application? There is a way to many programs out there on Windows (really most of them) that use WinForms to just die. Remember Y2K and all those systems that need to be updated from Cobol (or was Fortran?). Personally, I am moving on to WPF, but there is still time and place for WinForms that I think ... C ++ is still in use, although we all have C #, sort of what I think.

Answer 2

It is not completely dead or living - more like an undead.
