How to set user control of Windows forms in a WPF application?

Question

As a short-term solution, I am trying to hush up the "usercontrol" form in a WPF application. I see in the WPF application view that I can add a “custom Windows form control” to the project, and it creates an empty custom control, but I cannot figure out how to add it. Ideally, I would like to know how to take a .dll from my compiled Windows Forms user element and paste it into a WPF application or import a user control into a WPF application.

Thanks Sam

                    VerticalAlignment="Stretch">

Lucas answer is correct, but I wanted to add something necessary. If you are creating a web application, you must change the Security setting to This is a full trust application. I could not get the WindowsFormsHost control to work before that.
