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

I think that you should also explain in more detail the "constraints" of the 
situation which are causing you extra work and why this has made you believe 
that WPF is not the correct choice.

Hi folks,

Can anyone point out some particularly good looking WinForms apps?  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.
