So I can use the result as a thumbnail for my layer. With the WPF version I don't have this method. I can use the RenderTargetBitmap class to generate an image from the Map because it inherits from the Visual base class. But I don't want to take the whole map representation... I need one for each layer. The Layer class is not a Visual, so I can't render it as an image (at least not as easily as I can with the map).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I saw that the Layer class has a Canvas property. That's a LayerCanvas that inherits from a Panel and it should work. But the problem is: it's an internal property.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So just to sum up my problem: how to generate an image representation for a layer? Not the whole map... just one layer at time...! Should I just use reflection to access this property? Are there any other solutions?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you!!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Andre</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 Jun 2011 20:05:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-runtime-sdk-for-wpf-retired-questions/generating-an-image-representation-for-a-layer/m-p/29349#M127 AndreMachado 2011-06-29T20:05:31Z Re: Generating an image representation for a layer https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-runtime-sdk-for-wpf-retired-questions/generating-an-image-representation-for-a-layer/m-p/29350#M128 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>We currently have this available only for Silverlight.
