How to render a text onto a WritableBitmap in Silverlight 3.0?

Question

Hi,

I have a set of image resources in a Silverlight client and I'm trying to render text on them. I can load the original BitmapImage into a WriteableBitmap but see no facility for rendering text onto it. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

You could probably achieve this by using a Grid like this:-

<Grid x:Name="MyGrid">
  <Bitmap Source="urltoimg" />
  <TextBlock Text="Text to Overlay" />
</Grid>

Then in code:-

WriteableBitmap wb = new WritableBitmap(MyGird, null);
