Introduction: Windows Forms developers do not need to throw away their code and start from scratch in Windows Presentation Foundation, simply to get a stunning UI for a particular use case of their application. In this 17' video I demonstrate how to get started with interop between WPF and WinForms applications. For more please visit my blog post here.

It was only because I am particularly interested in this area that i put up with the appalling reliability of the streaming server on fullscreen mode, it would not last more than 2 minutes without losing the connection!

Hi jh71283, I apologise for your bad experience with the streaming servers and I am glad you found the ZIP option... Thanks for persisting.

Well done, nicely paced.  Question: why did you disable the Visual Studio Hosting Process?

Thanks Steve. The reason was that the pre-release version of VS2008 that I was using had a showstopper bug when I mixed wpf interop with the hosting process. It should be fixed now of course.
