title: Visual Design Application: WPF or WinForms(GDI)?
body: <p>I have to develop an application with which my client will do visual design. By this I mean the graphical display and manipulation related entities. (Similar in principle to ERD, but obviously then again, completely different problem area)</p>
  
  <p>Think of Visual Studio which has a toolbox, each item has some properties etc. Items have certain kinds of relationships, also which need properties and so on. </p>
  
  <p>I need to decide whether I want to do it in Windows Forms where I will have to use some 3rd party graphing/visual design library or whether I want to tackle this beast with WPF where I have some design tools available. (I'm talking about the Blend suit)</p>
  
  <p>What do you think? Would you do this in WPF or WinForms? Why? What components (if any) would you use?</p>
