I wish to create a media center program to run on a windows based system.

I am a bit lost as to which language would be best for this situation so i am hoping for a little bit of advise on the subject.

I want the program to be similar to XBMC (I don't want to use XBMC because i want to be able to modify the program to do what i want at my will).

I have already created one with windows forms in vb.net which functions really well but i do not like the limitations on the gui (true transparency and lack of transitions are the main ones)

I have tried WPF but i just don't understand it at all, seems really complicated but it seems like what i need to start looking into..

So i need to know if WPF would be my best option? or is there something else that offers the functionality of a vb.net windows form but also offers the ability to create a visually stunning gui.

also is everything that can be done with a vb.net form be done in WPF?

也许您不仅应该考虑编程语言，还应该考虑组件库（例如DevExpress）标准 Winform-Controlls（以及 WPF）是有限的，因此额外的组件可能会给您一个更好的基础。在这种情况下，您可以继续使用 vb.net（或者您可以考虑使用 c#）。

首先，WPF 并不复杂，但如果你以前在 Winforms 中实现应用程序，它肯定是不同的。但是恕我直言，它是实现应用程序的更好的框架，因为它有更多的可能性来设计控件等。
如果你真的想学习 WPF，你也应该看看MVVM。它为实现此类应用程序提供了一种良好的结构化方式。
还有一些其他人创建的框架为实现 MVVM 应用程序提供了良好的基础。所以你不需要重新发明轮子。它们很容易找到。

作为 WPF 开发的好工具（仅用于设计部分），我推荐 MS Blend，尽管它的学习曲线很陡峭。一旦熟悉了它，您将能够轻松创建真正精美的 GUI。

由于 WPF 包含在 .Net 框架中，因此您可以使用 VB.Net 而没有缺点。我更喜欢 C#，但这完全取决于你的喜好。

我误解了最后一部分。是的，您可以像在 Winforms 中一样在 WPF 中提供任何功能。（我猜这是VB.net form的意思。）
