WPF and WinForms are two excellent Microsoft platforms that made a significant contribution to Windows and desktop app development. Although they both serve the same purpose, the most significant difference to note between them is WPF is not just a layer over the default Windows controls (which is the case in WinForms). Instead, it is one that can be created from scratch and is independent of regular Windows controls. WPF has some incredible features like 2D and 3D animations, media services, styles, typography, graphics, data binding, etc., and uses XAML to declaratively design views.
