How to determine if a WPF EXE

I am trying to find out if the EXE is a WPF application or a WinForms application. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

I heard that I can use the Reflector tool, if so, how can I do this?

Thanks.

Although you can usually classify an application as “either” a WPF or WinForms application, interaction is possible, so that a WinForms application can “host” WPF controls and vice versa. Since your application sounds like it refers to both sets of assemblies, it can use both. Just something to be aware of.

Anyway, I just opened one of my WPF projects in Reflector and some obvious signs that it is a WPF application:

1) There is a class that has which is a file (like this) AppStartupUriXaml

public class App : System.Windows.Application
{
    // Methods
    [DebuggerNonUserCode]
    public void InitializeComponent()
    {
        base.StartupUri = new Uri("Window1.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
    }

2) in exe

there is XamlGeneratedNamespace

3) There are files in the Resources.baml folder (possibly within <Application1>.g.resources).

4) Window classes (if you can easily find them in the reflector tree):

public class Window1 : System.Windows.Window
, System.Windows.Markup.IComponentConnector {

If you really want to trawl through Reflector in detail, WinForms windows inherit from System.Windows.Forms.Form, so you can easily determine if you have WinForms and WPF.

You can check .exe with code, you do not need a reflector.

.exe, System.Windows.Application, dll PresentationFramework ( ).

100% - , - , wpf, . - Reflector, Run().

public static bool IsWpfApplication
{
    get { return System.Windows.Application.Current != null; }
