Hi matrixgoh,

The better solution is host WPF control into Winform application. Please look at this example.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742215.aspx

You need an ElementHost in your form. Here is the code to host it(you can find it in the sample).
// Create the ElementHost control for hosting the
// WPF UserControl.
ElementHost host = new ElementHost();
host.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

// Create the WPF UserControl.
HostingWpfUserControlInWf.UserControl1 uc =
new HostingWpfUserControlInWf.UserControl1();

// Assign the WPF UserControl to the ElementHost control's
// Child property.
host.Child = uc;

// Add the ElementHost control to the form's
// collection of child controls.
this.Controls.Add(host);

Hope this helps.

PS: 4G ram should be great, do you have a dual core CPU?

Sincerely,
Kira Qian

Hi matrixgoh,

The Panel control in Winform should be the closer control to ScrollView in WPF.

You can drag a panel from the Toolbox in Visual Studio designer, set its AutoScroll property to true.

Does it meet your needs?

Hi matrixgoh,

Yes, you are correct. WPF is recognize as the most powerful desktop develop technology. The function and appearance of winform control does not as rich as WPF. Even when you override the method of the control to extend its function, it won't as smooth as WPF built in control.

But when running a WPF application, it need to explain baml file located in assembly, that cost time for a comput without good hardware support. So base on my experience, if a laptop can run Vista smoothly, it sure can run WPF smoothly.

Here is a document talking about WPF performance.

Hi matrixgoh,

I don't mean add winform control into scrollviewer, design the whole scrollviewer and its contained controls in WPF, then host the whole WPF control into Winform. So your main application is winform. It should run fast. Do you understand it?
