What's the difference between


     System.Drawing.Point

and the


     System.Windows.Point

In what context should which one be used?

I'm working with WPF.

System.Drawing.Point represents a GDI point and is used in Windows Forms. It can only hold integer values.

WPF doesn't use GDI anymore, so it has its own System.Windows.Point type to represents a point, which can have non integer values.

I know this question is old, but thought I would ask. If I want Point functionality, but I am using neither WPF nor Winforms, should I roll my own Point class? Or should I favor one of these two? Or, does it just not matter that much. – Sperry May 25, 2014 at 16:41 @Sperry, in this case I would create my own class. It takes about 2 minutes, and it avoids adding a reference to an assembly you don't really need. – Thomas Levesque May 25, 2014 at 21:15 Why the downvote? If you don't explain what you think is wrong, it can't improve the answer. – Guffa Sep 24, 2013 at 22:18
