The only one not included by default after File->New.. is System.Reflection, after briefly glancing at the code. If you're using VS 2008, or VS 2010, the IDE should detect the classes that don't have using statements specified, but require them. Ctrl + . is the keyboard shortcut to add them for you.

It seems you damn proud of things you discovered after many years of work! hehe :) Relax, it's just a vainglory. Real professionals (less than 5% of .NET world) already know about Path.Combine; But solution with ToTitleCase is the most idiotic I ever seen. First, it throws an exception on NULL string. WHY?? WTF null cannot be returned as a normal result? Fuck M$. Second, TextInfo is the last place I'll visit to find _STRING_ function! Again, stupids from M$ put it there w/o any brains involved. So, don't learn us MS tricks, learn M$. :) Hey, dude! It seems you damn proud of things you discovered after many years of work! hehe :) Relax, it’s just a vainglory.

The Window and Canvas had to be similar sizes or the image would be empty. I noticed something similar when I tried this again.

If your canvas is positioned inside of a parent container in any way, you have to take that into account or else your canvas will be cut-off in the resulting image. For example, if your canvas is inside of a grid (as mine was), the first line needs to look more like: Rect rect = new Rect(canvas.Margin.Left, canvas.Margin.Top, canvas.ActualWidth, canvas.ActualHeight); Something that I’ve been struggling with in dealing with XAML-to-Image conversion code is positioning.

So for me its useless. unfortunatelly this solution is absurdally slow, for even just 100 enum-fueled comboboxes in list. So for me its useless.
