Windows forms are mostly based on the pixel, while WPF is not pixel-based, which allows the scalability of the UI component for the application. WPF stands for Windows Presentation Foundation. Windows forms support information in a limited fashion, and it is a graphical subsystem.

It is used to render user boundaries in Windows-based applications. WPF was introduced as a part of the .NET framework version 3.0. Windows Forms is a graphic application programming crossing point, and it provides access to Microsoft Windows interface elements.

It achieves this by intermingling the Windows API that already exists in a managed code. WPF offers a new mark-up language alternative, which is known as XAML, and it identifies elements and relationships with other UI elements. Windows forms is an event-driven component which is supported by the Microsoft .NET framework.
