I was listening to some Christmas music today and the holiday spirit got the best of me. I managed to make a customizable e-greeting card using Silverlight 4. Since MS has only released a developer beta and no go-live license, users will have to manually download the Silverlight 4 beta plugin. I modified the html code that the Silverlight SDK spits out to show this image and redirect it straight to the Silverlight Tools Page:
I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel so I used some code that was already out there:
– Code to encode an image to PNG and save to local hard drive

– Silverlight 4 code to capture images from a Web Camera and Print
Tools I used:
Microsoft Expression Blend Preview for .NET 4
And here’s the app! And yes, this qualifies for a TechFriday cause Christmas is on a— FRIDAY!
