Question

I’m new to WPF. The problem is to export an image which is a simple UI button icon from a WPF project. I tried to locate the image in solution folders. Then I managed to figure out that it doesn’t exist at all it’s merely a geometry drawing in XAML!!! The question is there any tool for extracting such graphics to png file?

You can export XAML as image using Expression Design.
