    <p>Your sentiment is shared by many, many devs trying to do this for legit purposes. There are some work-arounds out there, all of them either hacky or bizarro. But this is probably the best one I've seen: <a href="http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/alon/archive/2010/07/06/screen-capture-in-silverlight-4-0.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Screen Capture in SIlverlight 4.0</a>.</p> <p>Just read again and saw that you're not looking for a crossdomain.xml solution. This page has some other options (again, no solution out there is "great"): <a href="http://betaforums.silverlight.net/forums/t/118030.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://betaforums.silverlight.net/forums/t/118030.aspx</a></p> <p>Also, not sure if this is an option, but your app as an OOB app will not be restricted to security checks in ClientAccessPolicy.xml or CrossDomain.xml. Is Out-of-Browser an option for you?</p> <hr> <p><em>EDIT:</em> Upon further review of the post and comments, I believe (Tom, please confirm this) that the need isn't to get a screenshot of the user's instance of the SL app running on their own box (which something like <a href="http://blog.gfader.com/2010/06/customer-support-in-silverlight.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Customer Support in Silverlight</a> would take care of pretty well).</p> <p>Rather, it is to take picture of the user's screen (same as <kbd>PrtSc</kbd>-ish). In this case, it is a lot tougher, but not impossible. Rui show's how he does it <a href="http://xamlpt.com/blogs/ruimarinho/archive/2010/02/23/grab-desktop-in-silverlight.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, but it relies on a component already being on a user's machine. Jeremy get's even more creative with <a href="http://jmorrill.hjtcentral.com/Home/tabid/428/EntryId/442/Silverlight-4-Hack-Use-Native-Desktop-CLR-Without-COM-Registration.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Silverlight 4 Hack: Use Native/Desktop CLR Without COM Registration</a>, which would effectively allow access. </p>
