+1 would be very interested to know what constraints would cause you to choose winforms over wpf..

Screenshots will do, a working app I could show someone would be better. This is a bit of a strange request so I should probably explain a little... We've built a product using WPF but we have lots of constraints imposed by the environment we're coding for. This has caused a lot of extra work with more to come. As such, I don't think WPF is the right choice and I'm trying to convince my manager that it's worth considering switching to WinForms which is much better suited to this environment. He's not a developer and is fairly visually oriented, and he's worried that if we were to use WinForms then we may not be able to produce a good GUI / UX. I've assured him that this isn't the case but some good examples would help. Cheers.
