Does WPF compiled code is bigger or smaller than Winform compiled code? Does WPF generates more code behind that Winform does?
I have a Winform App and I want to make a new version on WPF. Customers get the updates of this app by dowloading it. So my question is, If I make the application now on WPF just using the same screens how bigger can it be the compiled solution compared to the WinForm version.
( I’m not asking about performance, advantages or disadvantages, let’s make is simpler. So far I have seen with small tests that WPF app are some kb bigger so the question is are those Kb added becuase of a different shell or wrapper that the WPF application embeds or will each of the WPF control embeds overhead MSIL code to the final .exe and .dlls files of the solution.)
I did two projects with some controls…
so it looks like it will be heavier, but it is hard to say how much heavier. It could depend on your project.
