I have a Old windows form application and i don't want to convert it to wpf , i want to embed it inside my wpf application main window . How can i do this ?.
Also , How Can i transfer text between wpf and embeded WinForm using WindowsFormHost ?
You'll want to use a WindowsFormsHost. Check this tutorial out (shows how to do WPF in WinForms and vice versa).
You can use the WindowsFormsHost to add single Forms into an WPF application. If this is enough for your purposes have a look at this walkthrough.

I have a customized WPF button control and I want to use this control with a WinForm application. I know how to use WPF user controls with WinForm using ElementHost. But I have no idea to use any single control (not a user control) with all its members with a WinForm application. Can you suggest me a good way to achieve this
Use ElementHost from System.Windows.Forms.Integration namespace
Here is detailed tutorial
Can't you wrap it to a UserControl? You can still use Host.CustomizedButton.xxx to access all the properties and methods.
Good day.
I created a dll. In this library i need to embed a dialog(which shows some values on textbox) which can run on windows form and wpf . i use winform in my dll but the problem is i can't show the dialog in wpf. i can't use Messagebox because i have a multiline textbox for user input.
Here is the screenshot of my dialog
Thank you.
you can use WindowsFormsHost, here is a doc tell you how to use this:

I was creating a Windows Forms based application in C#. I want to display a custom main UI. I have a source Bitmap image for the same. But I cannot find the solution so as to how to do this in C#.
Here is my main window for the UI in which I would display the buttons and the display.
Can anyone tell me how to do this??
Thanks.
You can't do that using WinForms, you must use WPF.

I would like to know if it is possible to combine XAML with Window Form or reverse. Also I would like to know a good place to learn how to work with both of them.
For example I want to make a XAML window on which I want to add a button with an event action wrote in C#.
Yes this is possible (both ways)
WinForms in WPF
WPF in WinForms
In both cases you add a special control that acts as a host for the other environment.
WindowsFormsHost allows you to host a Windows Forms control on a WPF page.
For a project I decided to use Dynamic Data Display to generate charts (more specifically: heat maps) of certain data.
Now for as far as I could read (and see from the demos) Dynamic Data Display uses WPF forms.
I have no experience whatsoever with WPF, but I was wondering if it is possible to integrate Dynamic Data Display in a normal windows forms project (even if this means "mixing" Dynamic Data Display's WPF forms with my project's normal windows forms).
Thanks in advance!
You will need to use System.Windows.Forms.Integration.ElementHost control in your Windows Forms project, more information on how to use ElementHost to host WPF forms inside Windows Forms is at:
