How can I convert a WPF control into an image?

Question

Hello, Is there an easy way to convert a WPF visual into an image? If so, what's the code?

Answer 1

It's not terribly difficult although you will probably want to wrap up functionality. I would take a look at RenderTargetBitmap the MSDN page has example usage.

The article How to: Create a Bitmap from a Visual is linked near the bottom of the page.

Answer 2

I had the same problem but found the MSDN explaination difficult to follow. I eventually found RenderTargetBitmap - Visual vector to bitmap gave me enough understanding to make my program work.
