I have my first WPF app (.NET 3.0 or .NET 3.5) working with a 3D Panel (MOGRE).

I will post screenshots, tips and some code.

What is WPF?

WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is the new API provided by Microsoft with the introduction of .NET 3.0 (and accessible by VS2008) as a replacement of System.Windows.Forms, so it's essentially the current .NET GUI technology of choice.

System.Windows.Forms namespace is available. WinForms not dead.

No, WPF is NOT the UI technology of choice, by anyone. WPF is only being pushed if you need to take advantage of certain Vista functionality, mostly to do with the composting window manager.

System.Windows.Forms is NOT, I repeat, NOT going anywhere. This has been confirmed by Microsoft. It is, and will likely remain, the .NET UI technology of choice for a long time. There is too much code out there for it. See MFC for an another example of a UI technology that will never die.

Too bad it won't... ;)

Didn't say that.

May the term "UI technology of choice" was a bit misplaced here.
WPF is developed with System.Windows.Forms in parallel, but has nothing to do with it, and offers some advanges, and some disadvantages compared to WinForms.
From a MS developer's point of view, WPF is more advanced and can do more eye-candy stuff, so it is the UI tech to go with.

And in this context
It is, and will likely remain, the .NET UI technology of choice for a long time. There is too much code out there for it. See MFC for an another example of a UI technology that will never die.

System.Windows.Forms is nothing else than MFC.
It's the very same thing.
WinForms and MFC can even "smoothly" cooperate.
And it's about time for MFC to disappear, IMHO.

To get back to the point,
Could You please post some example code please!

Many thanks!

I'll second that!
Really eager to get this working, but not having much luck at the moment.

Just curious, are trying to integrate with WPF just for interest sake? Or are you actually going to use it for something serious? Because if you are, I would like to know how good its performing, because WPF is seriously really slow.
