You cannot directly use a WPF control in WinForms. You will need to use an ElementHost[^] e.g.
ElementHost elhost = new ElementHost(); elhost.Size = new Size(110, 60); elhost.Location = new Point(45,35); MyWPFControl wpfctl = new MyWPFControl(); elhost.Child = wpfctl; myForm.Controls.Add(elhost);See here[^] -
