C# code forms or XAML (WPF) code

It looks like I have two choices when creating a form that has objects such as buttons, labels and text boxes. I can use the older C# code or the newer XAML code.

I'm wondering what the advantages of using XAML code and if I should learn XAML compared with the original C# code when placing and using objects on a form?

I noticed that some form objects are missing when using XAML code such as the timer and PictureBox. XAML seems to have its own version of the timer but maybe there are other things missing.

If for example you were creating an arcade game would you use XAML code?

When I'm referring to XAML I'm meaning WPF.
