Hi All,

I would like to know if anyone has any information on future roadmap for WPF. Is there any date for microsoft retiring WPF and removing future support?

Thanks in advance

    The actual Roadmap is roadmap.md
    The last MS Framework is WinUI 3, based on UWP XAML, but WPF should still be used for years...

    Hi, @Narayanan Subramanian (Nara) . Welcome Microsoft Q&A.

    According to the documentation Overview - Product end of support, there are no plans to remove wpf. So it will be supported.

    I am trying to create a NEW WPF project now using Visual Studio 2022, and I only see "Out of support" options available.

    It seems that WPF is tied to Internet Explorer, and Microsoft does not know how to support WPF anymore.
