Is there a way to convert Winforms application to a WPF application?
No. Those two UI platforms are very different and there is no app which converts a WinForms app to a WPF app. Of course, this will not prevent you from reusing any business/DAL/logging/Ioc/etc libraries you use in WinForms.
However, you might want to check out this, quite basic but functional WinForms->XAML converter, written by Rob Relyea from WPF & Xaml Language Team.
According to him, "We (Microsoft) haven't built a real converter because we think most people will not just move over controls, but often will rethink their application as they move it. We'd love feedback..."

Straight answer is a big No.
If you want to take all the real power of the new platform, you need to rebuild the entire Win forms UI side and most of the associated code for effective data binding and User experience. Your DataLayer can be reused fully in WPF.
