Would you make WPF apps or Windows Form apps in 2018?

You can do it with universal windows platform (uwp) . Using C# in visual studio. Xamarin university is a good place to learn how to do it using xamarin.

@georgelynch I meant do people still develop Windows form apps, or did everyone shift to wpf?

Is a UWP installable/distribuitable without the Windows store?

Wpf was nice, easy to deploy like a web app but the power of a windows app. It never got real popular and fizzled pretty much. I liked it.

Windows apps are not done much anymore. Everything went to the web. If something needs to be desktop uwp is an option.

WPF for thousands of reasons, e.g. performance.
UWP if you don't need the support for older Windows versions than 10 and want to deploy it through the store.

@JS96 So, I don't have much choice without the store with UWP.
Well gotta start with WPF then.
Thanks.

Wpf Wpf Wpf Wpf a thousand times Wpf

.NET Core.. but seriously, WPF, mainly because Windows forms is at its end.

Console only D:

WPF 100%, MAKE SURE to follow MVVM pattern :)

In the last ms build the show that new UI controls are coming to WPF, but if you are app is not free the best option is to put on windows store.

Personally i prefer UWP, but doesn’t matter at all. If you want really high performance (like 4k games) go with WPF OR WINDOWS FORMS.
