Is there any way to render a Silverlight text to a path or graphics object at runtime? I know this can be done using the design tools, but I want to be able to do this on the fly.
I’ve seen an example that calls a webservice which uses WPF constructs to convert a WPF FormattedText object to a PathGeometry, but those objects aren’t available in Silverlight.
I’m pretty sure this just isn’t supported in Silverlight, but thought it was worth asking.
As you suspected, you’d have to do it server-side to convert the text to a PathGeometry which is supported in Silverlight. What are you trying to achieve?
