Namespace:  C1.Silverlight.Pdf
Assembly:  C1.Silverlight.Pdf (in C1.Silverlight.Pdf.dll)

Syntax

C#
public void DrawElement(
	FrameworkElement e,
	Rect rc
)
Visual Basic
Public Sub DrawElement ( _
	e As FrameworkElement, _
	rc As Rect _
)

Parameters

e
Type: System.Windows..::..FrameworkElement
FrameworkElement to render into the document.
rc
Type: System.Windows..::..Rect
Rect where the element will be rendered.

Remarks

This method uses a VisualTreeHelper to render each of the primitives that compose the root element. It does not convert the element into a bitmap. As a result, the output is smaller and resolution independent; however, the result is not as faithful as a bitmap rendering. To render an element as a bitmaps, create a WriteableBitmap and pass it to the DrawImage(WriteableBitmap, Rect) method.

This method must be called from the main thread. Calling it from a background thread will raise a cross-thread exception when the method tries to access the properties of the FrameworkElement being rendered.
