Are there any disadvantages to hosting a Windows Forms Control in a WPF Application?
My first thought is that performance might be hurt a little bit. Also, there is the air gap issue between the forms control and the wpf application.
Forms. Integration) A Windows Forms control that can be used to host a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) element.
This is due to the fact that the WPF framework is much larger than winforms and therefore it has many more "things to load" in order to work. This is also true when you compare the cold startup times (again, in a 1-control situation).
What Jeff wrote plus there are also some graphical glitches as well (especially when resizing).
