Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a .NET UI framework for building Windows desktop applications, using XAML for declarative UI with vector-based rendering, data binding, and a rich control set. This repository contains the open-source WPF codebase maintained by Microsoft and the .NET Foundation for .NET Core and later versions.
Use cases
- build a Windows desktop application in C#
- create a XAML-based UI with data binding
- migrate a .NET Framework WPF app to .NET Core
- build high-DPI Windows apps with vector rendering
- develop a line-of-business desktop app on .NET 8
- contribute fixes to the WPF framework itself
When to choose
- you are building a Windows-only desktop application with .NET
- you want declarative XAML UI with powerful data binding
- you need a mature, MIT-licensed UI framework backed by Microsoft
- you need ARM64 support on Windows for .NET 6+
When to avoid
- you need cross-platform desktop apps (consider Avalonia, MAUI, or Electron)
- you are targeting macOS or Linux
- you want a lightweight or web-based UI stack
