Drawing in Silverlight Article in MSDN Magazine
Saturday, August 02 2008 - Tablet
I remember seeing WPF/E, the early version of what was to become Silverlight, at Microsoft a few years ago, then running over to the building where the TabletPC team lives and asking if the WPF inking features were going to be in Silverlight. As you may or may not know by now, the answer was yes and...

Read More...Converting Silverlight InkPresenter images to a PNG file
Thursday, January 31 2008 - Tablet
In the TabletPC SDKs and in WPF it's very easy to take an ink image and save it to an image format - BMP, JPG, etc. Then came Silverlight and the InkPresenter and naturally I wanted to do the same.

Friday, June 29 2007 - Tablet
Last year, there was lots of buzz about a possible iTablet, for example, ZDNet's Matthew Miller is piecing together some various things he'd been reading. I never really paid much attention to it but now the iPhone has been making me wonder if the technology that has gone into the iPhone is headed for...

The Mobile team is at it again. They have written a converter to take Journal notes and convert them into an interactive Silverlight page. You can read about it on the Mobile dev center and download the converter application. There are two live demos of it here on my own website where I have hosted their...

Thursday, June 14 2007 - Tablet
I keep seeing all of these flash ads that have a pen that you can move around with your mouse and draw - similar to all of the inky stuff I've been doing except I wanted that pen, too! I finally figured out how to pull it off. Read more here... [A New DevLife post]...
