I'm a user interface designer. The project I'm working on is a dashboard that will have several interactive and customizable widgets (think Netvibes, etc.). The development group is going to be using either WinForm or WPF to build the dashboard and widgets. I need to understand the capabilities of each technology better and see a sampling of actual working apps to help accomplish this. I can't download and build examples... need live examples somewhere on the web. Can you point me to live, existing apps? Thx.

Take a look at Microsoft's site about Windows Forms and WPF: http://windowsclient.net/ WPF Showcase gallery: http://windowsclient.net/community/showcase.aspx

This gives you an idea of some of the cababilities of WPF: http://xamples.infragistics.com/2008.2/xamShowcase.xbap
Although it loads in the Browser, all of these examples can be run as independent apps.

I really liked looking through a sample program called Kevin's Bag-o-tricks, which does a really good job of highlighting some of the best features of wpf.

Checkout the apps coming from thirteen23.com Blu is a nice WPF Twitter client. I don't care for the app itself, but it does a nice job of showing off what WPF can do. Compare that to your standard "Developer Art" WinForms app and you should have a pretty good idea of the difference.

Hypershot and Hyperdrive from Bunkspeed (http://www.bunkspeed.com/index.html) are WPF applications.
