Hi there! :)

There really is no direct way... Fundamentally, this is because the model of a WPF application is different from Winforms applications.

However, you may try this converter and it only works if your application is not very big or complex:

Otherwise, please refer to the following links as reference to help you in the migration of a Winforms application to a WPF application.

WPF usually relies on MVVM and which was not used very often in Windows Forms apps. No converter will create that layer for you!
