Windows Presentation Foundation Tutorial

Windows Presentation Foundation Tutorial Knowledge Base

what's the difference between a windows form and wpf (Windows Presentation Foundation) in Visual Studio 2008? I've started making a VB application and all my forms are window forms. However, I came across a video tutorial on the the msdn website about creating a data entry page for something like customer details. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/cc707833.aspx This is exactly what I'm trying to achieve (adding details to a database). However, in the tutorial the lady (Beth Massi) shows the process using a wpf form (not a windows form). I don't mind doing it her way, but I don't know how to call up the wpf window. With a standard windows form i can use something like Form2.Show() to open a windows. I tried to display a WPF windows by calling wpfwindows.show() but this doesn't work. Another idea that i though of but haven't tried yet is just following her instructions but instead of using a WPF form, just use a windows form. what do you think? I've probably made the question sound a lot more complicated than it really is. Any help will be much appreciated. @loverofwine: I checked the link you sent but I'm not sure its what I'm after. I have textboxes on my form and a save button. When the user clicks the save button, I want the values in the textboxes to be saved to the relevant fields in the database.
