Coexistence of Windows Forms and WPF

Question

I need to make the application compatible with all .NET Framework: 2, 3, 3.5 and 4.

In addition, I want to develop an application that, when running from a PC that only has Framework 2 installed, the GUI is created using Windows Forms, but if the PC uses Framework 3 or later, the GUI is executed using WPF.

---

I developed an application with NET 2 and Windows Forms. I tested this application with NET 3, 4 and 3.5, and it works correctly.

I recently updated the GUI using WPF, these changes were simple because I developed an interface with a data binding paradigm. This choice allowed me to easily switch from Windows Forms to WPF.

I overcame the problem of creating a single application (for Windows Forms) that should run on any wireframe platform using this guide: http://msdn.microsoft.com/it-it/library/w671swch%28v=VS.100%29. aspx .

Now I wanted to make sure that if .NET 3.5 or higher was installed on the PC, an application using a graphical user interface created using WPF.

I tried to follow some recommendations, such as http://msdn.microsoft.com/it-it/library/433ysdt1.aspx , but to no avail. I am very confused about how to act.

The application does not have to install anything on the PC, just use what is.

Thanks in advance, Talao.
