My current task is to develop a software for measurement and testing purposes which will communicate with various devices. Because i have to assume that there will be a high amount of data transferred from the devices that needs to be displayed in some plotting component or similar, the UI framework used should be as fast and responsive as possible.
I have a few years experience in WPF, but i think it will not be the best choice performance-wise. I am considering using Windows Forms at the moment, but i would like to explore some options first.
Do you know any good UI frameworks for .NET (wrappers for native frameworks are fine, too) and what is your experience using them? Thanks!
Build a prototype to see if there are actually performance problems.
Choosing Windows Forms over WPF seems questionable if it is purely based on assumptions.
