XAML Object Element Usage
This example shows how to use a Drawing as the Source for an Image control. To display a Drawing with an Image control, use a DrawingImage as the Image control's Source and set the DrawingImage object's DrawingImage..::.Drawing property to the drawing you want to display.
The following example uses a DrawingImage and an Image control to display a GeometryDrawing. This example produces the following output:
A DrawingImage
