load geotiff or other raster from a remote url

Question

Hi
I am just evaluating silverlight for a project proposal.

Can I load a raster image without using arcgis server(I have seen samples load from KML)?  For example from an URL like http://myserver.com/worldBackground.tiff.

Thanks in advance.

Doing this adaptation, are there any libraries I can make use of during calculation of this transformation between projections? Or am I on my own?

The most general answer is the Geometry service (sample here :http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#Project).
 
For the particular case of transformations between webmercator and geographical coordinates, you can use the WebMercator class : http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Projection.WebMercator_members.html
 
Nothing else is available at the client side (for the moment).

Almost! You have also to set the esri:ElementLayer.Envelope to the correct map coordinates for your image.

Nothing automatic. You have to adapt the envelope of your element to the map coordinates.

As far as I understand from the sample I will replace the 
Source="http://serverapps.esri.com/media/scec-shakeout-simulation-rt.wmv"
line with the url of the imagery and I will be done , correct?

 If I change the projection of the map, will this imagery also change projection?
