    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to create my first program in SilverLight. But I can't use the InkCanvas.</p> <p>Simply, I just:</p> <ol> <li>Create a new project.</li> <li>Choose SilverLight Application (Framework 4.5)</li> <li>UnCheck "Host the silverlight application in a website..."</li> <li>SilverLight version 5</li> <li>"WCF RIA Services" unchecked</li> <li>Click on ToolBox > Choose Items > Select InkCanvas from SilverLight components</li> <li>Add InkCanvas to the form &amp; Change it's background color to black</li> <li>Click on "Start" (Debug)</li> </ol> <p>But I can't see or use the Canvas.</p> <p>Here is the XAML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;UserControl xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:Workspace="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Expression.Prototyping.Workspace;assembly=Microsoft.Expression.Prototyping.Runtime" x:Class="SilverlightApplication3.MainPage" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400"&gt; &lt;Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"&gt; &lt;Workspace:InkCanvas HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="204" Margin="36,52,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="310" Background="Black" /&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/UserControl&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then I get these 2 errors:</p> <blockquote> <p>Error 1 Undefined CLR namespace. The 'clr-namespace' URI refers to a namespace 'Microsoft.Expression.Prototyping.Workspace' that could not be found. c:\users\xperator\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\SilverlightApplication3\SilverlightApplication3\MainPage.xaml 6 21 SilverlightApplication3</p> </blockquote> <p>and</p> <blockquote> <p>Error 2 The type 'Workspace:InkCanvas' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built. c:\users\xperator\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\SilverlightApplication3\SilverlightApplication3\MainPage.xaml 12 10 SilverlightApplication3</p> </blockquote> <p>As the error says, there is no <code>Workspace</code> in the Prototyping namespace. I can see in the Solution explorer, there is only 2 References related to the InkCanvas:</p> <blockquote> <p>Microsoft.Expression.Prototyping.Interactivity</p> <p>microsoft.expression.prototyping.runtime</p> </blockquote> <p>Tried to add the "Workspace" from the "Add Reference" but couldn't find it.</p> <p>UPDATE :</p> <p>I think actually the InkCanvas is not official ported to silverlight yet. Tried to do the same steps on a fresh pc, and I just noticed InkCanvas wasn't there in the first place. Maybe something related to Blend added the prototype control in my own PC. Still it doesn't work :(</p> <p>I am open to any suggestion for alternatives to InkCanvas.</p>
