Couple of questions why did you use just a plain canvas instead of the inkpresenter element. Or at least I don't see where you have used it yet. Also since you can do all the drawing on a canvas, what functionality does the inkpresenter give you that you can't get with a plane canvas. Lastly, is there a way to save the image...that would be cool.

Thanks!

BigTundra,

I went with Canvas vs. InkPresenter because my needs were very simple and I already had experience with Canvas. I've heard that InkPresenter is also very easy to use, so I probably could have used it without much difference. In general, it's my understanding that ink-supporting controls typically have more "fidelity" than normal ones because the ink ones are often used for handwriting recognition. For example, ink may sample input at a higher rate, respond to input pressure, or detect common gestures. All cool things, of course, but none of which were directly relevant to my application. :)

Regarding the desire to save the image, I considered it, but Silverlight's security model doesn't allow you to write to arbitrary files on disk, so it wasn't immediately clear where to save the image. (There's IsolatedStorage, but that wouldn't give me an image file I could copy around and view in Windows.) For now, the preferred method of saving the image is: Print Screen, open "real" Paint, Paste, Save. :)

The link above appears to be no good. It takes me to a Silverlight Alpha download page. Is there a more recent link?

EvanBasalik,

The link works fine for me. The app requires Silverlight 1.1 Alpha, so if it's not already installed on your machine, then it's correct to be pointed to the install location.

Hope this helps!

Do you have an updated version?

windrago,

No, sorry, I haven't updated this sample for SL2 or SL3. If you're just looking for some of the same concepts (and not specifically the child-friendly approach I took), you might check out this link instead: http://www.silverlightbuzz.com/2009/03/15/building-a-paint-application-in-silverlight-using-the-line-element/

Hope this helps!
