Vista - place net 2.0 control on xaml form

Hello,

is it possible to place an "old" .Net 2.0 custom control on a wpf form?
How? They do not appear in the VS toolbox...

thanks!
Dirk

I don't think so. They are completely different types of controls.

Hi Dirk

Yes you can!
See the SDK Samples.
C:\Programme\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Samples\WPFSamples\MigrationInterop\WpfHostingWindowsFormsControl


To design Windows use MS Expression Blend:
http://www.microsoft.com/products/ex...blend/try.mspx

"WPF and Windows Forms are 2 very different technologies although there is
some interoperability available through WindowsFormsHost. Cider will not be
supporting IComponent, only the Windows Forms designer will support that."

Thats the reason, why Blend don't show Controls inside the WindowsFormsHost
and why the designer in VS2005 is not realy handy.

Hello,

when I add

?<?Mapping XmlNamespace="wfi"
ClrNamespace="System.Windows.Forms.Integration"
Assembly="WindowsFormsIntegration"?>
<UserControl x:Class="VMessAX.MainForm"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:wfi="wfi"
xmlns:dh="dh" Height="273" Width="158">
<Grid>
<wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
</wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</UserControl>

I get the messages that the tag WindowsFormsHost is not existing in
namespace wfi....

Hi Dirk

Try this:
<Window x:Class="Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:WinForms="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
xmlns:wfi="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms.Integration;assembly=WindowsFormsIntegration"
Title="MyWindowsFormHostSample" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<Button Name="Button1" Height="50" Margin="0,0,0,20" Content="WPF
Button"/>
<wfi:WindowsFormsHost Name="WinFormsHost" Height="50" Margin="0,100,0,0"
Background="Yellow">
<WinForms:Button Name="MyWinFormButton" Text="Forms Button"
Height="50"/>
</wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</Window>

Only as different as, for example, an ActiveX control is from an HTML
placeholder :-) Integration is the key, and WindowsFormsHost is the
answer...
