For me the key shortcoming of WinForms is how poorly it handles multiple monitor setups and different resolutions. I recently ported the UI of a small app from WinForms to WPF for this reason and have been very happy with the result - much more modern feel and seamless adaptation to moving the app’s dialogs between monitors with different resolutions.

Glad it worked out for you. I also think that WPF offers more features when it comes to user experience requirements. Multi-monitor is undoubtedly such a requirement. Thanks for your feedback.
