Hi all.

Well this is odd question but here it comes

Is it possible to represent preview about usercontrol without presenting and loaded it on the wpf form as a usercontrol?

in code something like this

in xaml we have preview image component

<Image x:Name="previewImage"></Image>

and somewhere in codebehind

MyUserControl control = new MyUserControl();
//get here image of control and present it as a Source of previewImage component
previewImage.Source = "Here is preview about my usercontrol"

Received image should be handled in runtime memory and not to be saved in hard drive.

Hope you got idea :)

Cheers!

You can use a VisualBrush for that purpose.

You can add a Rectangle (instead of your Image):

XML

<Rectangle Name="myRect" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="2" Margin="5" />

and, set its Fill with a VisualBrush that contains your control:

C#

MyUserControl control = new MyUserControl();

VisualBrush vb = new VisualBrush
{
    Visual = control,
    Stretch = System.Windows.Media.Stretch.Uniform
};

myRect.Fill = vb;
