Answer 2

It is advisable to do so.
Winform has been here for a while.
WPF is the future, has more options / features..
If you want to be a developper, you better get used to it.

You can make choice's though.
You can use the toolbox to drag and drop your controls. LIke in winform
You can use one canvas and drag the controls to the position you want them to be.
And put all the code you need in the code behind of form.

In this way you use wpf but do have to understand it all.
