WPF vs WinUI Explained (with Code) | Key Differences Every .NET Developer Should Know

If you're a .NET developer wondering what the difference between WPF and WinUI is, this video will give you a clear and practical comparison. In this video, we build two small applications side-by-side to explore how WPF and WinUI actually differ in real development scenarios. Instead of just theory, you’ll see how project setup, XAML UI development, controls, layout, and data binding compare between the two frameworks. For the WinUI implementation, we use the Uno Platform, which allows the same WinUI UI patterns to run across multiple platforms including Windows, Web, Android, and iOS. This makes it a powerful approach for developers looking at the future of modern cross-platform .NET UI development. This video covers: • WPF vs WinUI architecture differences • Project setup comparison • XAML UI development in both frameworks • Controls, layouts, and data binding differences • Developer experience comparison • Why WinUI + Uno Platform is important for modern .NET development If you're currently using WPF or thinking about moving to WinUI, this video will help you understand the real differences and when you should choose one over the other.
