Hi,

This article will help you get started - http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/wpf-tutorial-using-winforms-in-wpf[^]

I think the controls of the Forms can be hosted in a WPF application and not the whole form but I´m not sure.

Good luck :thumbsup:

Solution 5

Use this
host = new elementhost();
wpf = new control.page1()
grid2.children.add(wpf);
