Sailing Judo's answer worked for me to convert a WinForms project into a WPF, but did not describe in detail what is needed;

1. Open the csproj file for the project you want to convert.
2. Search for the string - most likly it will not exist.

3. Add the following within the tag of the project file. If you have multiple PropertyGroup tags, use the one without a Condition attribute (e.g. the default properties).

   {60dc8134-eba5-43b8-bcc9-bb4bc16c2548};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}

4. Save - if you have the project open VS will ask to reload the project.

From what I see and test, I can now easily add WPF Windows and WinForms. My older WinForms also work without problems.
