  • Tuesday, Sept 2nd - Annotation with Silverlight 2.0 by Julie Lerman

    The Western Mass .NET Users Group is hosting its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 2nd at 6:00 PM at the MassMutual Learning Center in Chicopee, MA.  Free pizza, drinks and dessert will be provided compliments of MassMutual.  Please note the location - directions are below.

    Presentation Abstract:

    This session will show how to implement Silverlight's InkPresenter control to let users markup images, annotate photos and videos or just draw. We'll work in Expression Blend for the design and .NET code for event handling and other interaction with the user's drawings. In addition to all that you can do in Silverlight, you will also see how ASMX or WCF services can be used to provide functionality not included in Silverlight such as hand writing recognition.
