I don't know John. I've seen his name around here but I don't know anything about him. But you're correct in your assumption.

I would help you further, but I have a somewhat acidic sense of humor, and I merely enjoy watching those who worship me struggle with their day-to-day problems. Then, just as things start going for the better for them, I randomly snatch away their pitiful life, reminding them of my presence. I always get a chuckle out of the surprised look on their faces.

God only created a single man. That man in turn is responsible for the current mess we're in.

That's exactly what a spammer does: he creates a software (for example) that produces all the spam mails. Do you think that the spammer writes all these mails by hand, I don't think so?

So did God before that: he made the ultimate spam and garbage producing creature - the man that is capable of self reproducing the ultimate dream of a spammer-god!

WPF is meant for vector graphics, not for bitmaps.

If you want to display a bitmap in WPF and need to be able to efficiently update it in memory, look at the WriteableBitmap[^] class.

If you want to render WPF vector contents onto a bitmap, take a look at RenderTargetBitmap[^].

Hello,

"Applause" for Daniel Grunwald, who, imho, gave a considerate and appropriate response to the OP.

Given the OP's question was broad enough that you could see the earth's curvature in the distance ...

Still, imho, he responded with some "redeeming" sense of humour to the first rapier slash of JSOP.

I've voted all the (imho) sarcastic and needless posts #1 : this is a technical forum, not the lounge! And I've voted up the OP just for the sake of sheer contrariness.

Gentlemen and Gentlewomen, I ask you whether it benefits CodeProject as a whole to use the technical forums as a "dumping ground" for "interpersonal static" ?

Isn't it more valuable (I'm asking rhetorically) to just politely tell the OP that the question is so broad as to be off-topic, or unanswerable, or to suggest to OP that they do a search of the many technical articles on CP that have to with drawing, drawing surfaces, bitmaps, shapes, etc. in both WPF and WinForms ?

To those of you who wish to admire your "godliness" : I suggest you look in a mirror Smile | :)

best, Bill

Anyone know of a free download for the Ribbon control? I'm also looking for some cool free icons that I can download and use in my WPF application?

You could try http://wpf.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=WPF%20Ribbon%20Preview for a Microsoft one but there are some licensing issues you'll need to look into. As for icons Smashing Magazine is quite good for rounding up resources like http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/03/06/35-really-incredible-free-icon-sets/ check the links on that page and the freebies section for more.

I'm trying to port an application that heavily relies on the classes in the System.Web namespace (a lot of http requests and responses).
The problem is, I can't seem to find anything similar in Silverlight. Am I missing something, or is Silverlight that crippled? :S

No, you're not missing anything. In order to provide the full .NET functionality though, would require Silverlight to be downloaded as a several hundred megabyte download - so, a lot of functionality has been omitted.

So, a web app framework doesn't have any way to send/receive http requests? Darn... that's a suprise Frown | :(

Yes it does - it's perfectly possible for Silverlight to work with WCF using basicHttpBinding.

How to write text on an image using silver light

Thanks. I somehow missed those.
Is there a way to make any of these work synchronously?
I'm trying to avoid a major reorganization of a working code because of asynchronous requests.

As Lloyd has indicated, the easy way to do this is to place your image on the form first, and then place a TextBlock on the form as well. Use the margin property to change the position of the text.
