Hi there,
How do I display tiff files on a Silverlight application, I can display any image format except tiff, can anyone help me, thanks.
A:
A Tiff file is a multi-page format so rendering it is not as simple as a png, gif or bmp.
You have of course already found this via a web search but it'll cost you.

I would use an HttpHandler that converts the Tiff using the TiffBitmapDecoder and PngBitmapEncoder classes.
Alternatively, if you can decode the Tiff images in Silverlight, you can display them using a WriteableBitmap.

I was successful displaying TIFFs in Silverlight. It's easy to port the free LibTiff.NET library to Silverlight, just 3-4 minor tweaks required.
The library itself is quite legacy-like and raw to use and one still needs to have some knowledge about the inner workings of the TIFF format in order to be able to extract the image data the way one needs it.
But it's doable and the bits and pieces can then be chiseled into a WriteableBitmap.

We just released LibTiff.Net 2.0 that natively supports Silverlight. There is Silverlight Test Application in source package that shows how to read the data bits of Tiff files and apply them to Silverlight's WriteableBitmap.
