I converted these arrows in XAML. The arrows are available in the different formats:

• DrawingBrush (WPF only): You can use the arrow icon as a brush to “paint” an element, typically a Rectangle. If the painted element is resized, the DrawingBrush will also resize seamlessly thanks to its vector nature.
• Paths (Silverlight and WPF): In some cases, it is more convenient to use a Path instead of a DrawingBrush.

Looking at the demo code, one of the main routines is the CheckCollisionPoint class, which does a HitTest on a UI Element at a specific Point. If the element is an Image, then a WriteableBitmap object is used to check the specific pixel point (this WriteableBitmap is created in the CheckCollision method, shown later.). If the element is not an image, then we assume it is Vector based and we use the VisualTreeHelper class for a hit test.

Shine is the oldest vector trick going around but it can add an element of realism to any graphic and it’s ever so easy.
There are a few different types on shine you can add to an object, the first is a flat shine, add this to your logos and other object to give a flat yet glass appeal.

In my last post, I covered using WikiPedia as a clip art source for your Silverlight/WPF Apps. Now, I'll show you how to use Microsoft Office Clip Art.

Everybody is familiar with WikiPedia, but not a lot of people know that much of its content is licensed under creative commons and that the site prefers to use SVG for many of its graphics and diagrams.
