Use WPF controls in Windows Forms apps
You can use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) controls in Windows Forms-based applications. Although these are two different view technologies, they interoperate smoothly.
The Windows Forms Designer in Visual Studio provides a visual design environment for hosting Windows Presentation Foundation controls. A WPF control is hosted by a special Windows Forms control that's named xref:System.Windows.Forms.Integration.ElementHost. This control enables the WPF control to participate in the form's layout and to receive keyboard and mouse messages. At design time, you can arrange the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Integration.ElementHost control just as you would any Windows Forms control.
You can also use Windows Forms controls in WPF-based applications. For more information, see Design XAML in Visual Studio.
