Of WPF and Winforms, which is the better skills to have in the job market?
- by CraigJ
I have a large VB6 desktop app which I would like to upgrade to .NET in order to take advantage of the newer .NET API.
I am at a loose end as to whether to adopt WPF or Winforms when creating the new .NET solution.
I realise that WPF seems to be in some ways the successor of Winforms.
The only thing stopping me taking on WPF for this project is my concern that when the project has been completed the job marketplace will still be calling for Winforms skills and not necessarily WPF. Is this a valid concern?
Note: I am aware there are existing questions on "WPF vs Winforms" generally, but this question relates to my specific concern about the job market.
