Rendering Vector Images

[dwyer.bill]

Hi, I am trying to create a control that will display a vector image.
The main purpose is to allow for the resizing of an image without
pixelation. All of our image files are in AI(Adobe Illustrator) and we
were thinking of converting them over to PDF and using some third party
software to display the PDF. The only alternative I have found was to
use SVG, but Adobe is not going to support their SVG Viewer at the end
of the year. SO my question is whether or not this is a good way to
approach the problem. Are there any other ways that are better?

Thanks

Windows Presentation Framework supports XAML. XAML in turn supports vector
graphics.

There is a basic AI -> XAML Plugin:

Only thing is WPF is still in beta...

Hello Spam,

XAML is mearly the language. WPF is the entity that supports vector graphics.
Anyone remember the good ol days when it was called Avalon?
