Save canvas from windows store app as image file

Question

I\'m looking for way to save canvas from windows store app, I have found:

private void CreateSaveBitmap(Canvas canvas, string filename)
     {
       Render         


        

Answer 1

I came across this reply and although it looked exactly what I was looking for it didn't work. Adding an error handler revealed:

Value does not fall within the expected range.

Finally I found that:

(uint)canvas.Width, (uint)canvas.Height,

were both 0. After replacing it with:

(uint)canvas.ActualWidth, (uint)canvas.ActualHeight,

it worked. No idea why it worked for Carlos28 and not for me, but with this change it worked for me too and so I thank Xyriod for the answer
