Question

I’ve subclassed Canvas so that I can override its Render function. I need to know how I can load a bitmap in WPF and render that to the canvas. I’m completely new to WPF and I haven’t found any tutorials that show you how to do something so seemingly trivial. Step-by-step instructions with examples would be great.

This should get you started:

class MyCanvas : Canvas {
   protected override void OnRender (DrawingContext dc) {
      BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage (new Uri ("c:\\demo.jpg"));
      dc.DrawImage (img, new Rect (0, 0, img.PixelWidth, img.PixelHeight));
   }
}
