Windows 8 Metro App - Render PNGs

Question

I am needing to render some custom PNGs in a Windows 8 app.

Basically I need to create a custom live tile by putting some drawings made in my app on top of an image

Answer 1

Currently the only option is to use DirectX (or SharpDX) to create your image. You'll probably have to recreate the drawing using the low-level DirectX APIs. WritableBitmapEx might also be helpful if your drawings are simple.
