I have just started using silverlight 2 beta and cannot find how to or if it is possible to render a canvas to an bitmap image and then upload it to my web server?
Is this possible and if so how would I complete this task?
Update: This is now possible under silverlight 3 using a writable bitmap to save the XAML as a JPEG see the blog post here: http://blog.blueboxes.co.uk/2009/07/21/rendering-xaml-to-a-jpeg-using-silverlight-3/
You can’t render a canvas to a bitmap in Silverlight 2, but if you could generate a XAML version of your Canvas, you could pass it to the server and do something like this server side:
