I am trying to use WPF objects (Drawing, Geometry, DrawingVisual, etc) to create random icons for users on the server side of my web site.
When trying to do so in a request processing thread I get an exception “The calling thread must be STA because many UI components require this“.
Does this message mean that WPF is mostly targeting single-threaded client-side UI? Is this the right choice then for me to use WPF on the server side? If yes, how to make a workaround for STA exception?
Look there – not directly answering your question, but there is working samples http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2009/12/10/resizing-images-from-the-server-using-wpf-wic-instead-of-gdi.aspx.
