In this post Jeff Prosise explains how he made a great improvement of his Magnifier demo with the help of Silverlight 3's WriteableBitmap class.
I'm currently preparing a couple of new talks for TechEd Europe, which takes place next month in Berlin. One of the talks is entitled "Cool Graphics, Hot Code: Ten Visual Effects to Make You the Envy of Your Peers." In it, I plan to present techniques for producing eye-popping graphics and visual effects in Silverlight 3. I've been writing new code samples and revising existing ones. And thanks to Silverlight 3's WriteableBitmap class, I was able to make a dramatic improvement to a sample that I originally wrote for Silverlight 2 (and before that, for Silverlight 1.0).
