Question

My research on rendering 2d images led me to this…
Spritesheet in Silverlight
This Answer was good enough however, I do not want to use rectangle.
I think using an image class to just show the image makes more sense.. After trying to understanding the above example. I came up with following code…

img = new Image();
img.Source = 500x500BigHugeImage;
img.Width = 100
img.Height = 100
img.Stretch = System.Windows.Media.Stretch.None;
img.VerticalAlignment = System.Windows.VerticalAlignment.Top;
img.HorizontalAlignment = System.Windows.HorizontalAlignment.Left;

I can’t navigate.
