In this project, which is now also available on CodePlex, David Anson successfully uses Silverlight as a rendering engine to implement HTML 5 <canvas> support.
A few months ago, I described a proof-of-concept project and learning
exercise I'd worked on to implement some of the basics of the HTML 5 <canvas> specification using Silverlight as the underlying platform: HTML 5 <canvas> announcement, fix for other cultures.
As I explain in the introductory post, I didn't set out to come up with
the most efficient, most complete implementation - just to get some
familiarity with the <canvas> specification and see what it would be like to implement it with Silverlight.
