How can I retrieve coordinates on a mouse click with ViewportPointToLocation?

I'm using Bing map WPF control SDK to try retrieving coordinates and printing them
I've managed to retrieve the coordinates of the center of the current LocationRect using an EventHandler associated with pressing the arrows
I've tried employing the same concept with mouse clicking event handlers but it didn't work, first I've registered the event using the += notation as follows:
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
MainMap.Mode = new AerialMode(true);
MainMap.Focus();
MainMap.Culture = "ar-sa";
MainMap.MouseDoubleClick += new MouseButtonEventHandler(MapWithPushpins_MouseDoubleClick);
}
private void MapWithPushpins_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
Point mousePosition = e.GetPosition(this);
Location pinLocation = MainMap.ViewportPointToLocation(mousePosition);
Pushpin pin = new Pushpin();
pin.Location = pinLocation;
Coordinates.Text = pinLocation.Longitude.ToString();
MainMap.Children.Add(pin);
}
And here's the XAML file:
<Window x:Class="Ornina.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:m="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF;assembly=Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Ornina"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
<Grid>
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Top" >
<m:Map CredentialsProvider="AqCitpgSjIz_Sxd6AyI9Zm1rs1uRSG_G3Y7ebfok69ufB8W8uRdUtvheaRbz_10t" x:Name="MainMap" Center="36,38" ZoomLevel="16" Mode="AerialWithLabels" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="300" Width="500">
</m:Map>
</Grid>
<TextBlock x:Name="Coordinates">Coordinations</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</Window>
The program isn't responding with any thing, no exceptions, no errors

Your TextBlock is in front of your map, so the map doesn't receive the MouseDoubleClick event.
You can change the TextBlock to:
<TextBlock x:Name="Coordinates"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Text="Coordinations" />
So it's only in the top left corner and not in front of the whole map.
Or you can move it outside of the map entirely, in a different grid row or column.

Moving a triangle using given coordinate

I'm working on a project and I want to animate a rectangle to move a certain amount of coordinate that i have set earlier.
Ex: My rectangle is at the position (x=0,y=0). I want with a click of a button to make it move at position (x=150, y=230) in interval of 100 milliseconds. So with one click, it would go to (10,25) at first 100 milliseconds,(20,35) for second 100 milliseconds and so on until the rectangle reach the final position(x=150, y=230)...
I'm working with visual studio and blend on Visual C# wpf.
This is my progress of codes in code-behind file:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Button_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var myRect = (Rectangle)this.FindName("myRect");
double x = Canvas.GetLeft(myRect);
double y = Canvas.GetTop(myRect);
Canvas.SetLeft(myRect,x+10);
Canvas.SetTop(myRect,y);
And this is in XAML code:
<Window x:Class="move.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

</Canvas>

Loading image from the web at runtime in WPF

I'm trying to load an image from an url in WPF in a very simple way, but it's not working. Any help ? The code is below :
Main XAML
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="279*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="41*">
</RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image x:Name="image1" Grid.Row="0"></Image>
<TextBox Grid.Row="1" Margin="0,0,10,0"></TextBox>
</Grid>
</Window>
Code-behind
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
var bi = new BitmapImage();
bi.BeginInit();
bi.UriSource = new Uri("http://www.clipartkid.com/images/817/pic-of-german-flag-clipart-best-VkuN37-clipart.jpeg");
bi.EndInit();
//var img = new Image();
image1.Source = bi;
}
}

Funny indeed! Works alright at my other laptop now. Must be something with the firewall settings. And yeps, I've made things even simpler now. Binding the source of the image in XAML to just a string property I've set in a ViewModel class.
<Image x:Name="image1" Source ="{Binding MyPic}" Grid.Row="0"></Image>
class MyViewModel
{
public string MyPic {
get { return #"http://www.clipartkid.com/images/817/pic-of-german-flag-clipart-best-VkuN37-clipart.jpeg"; }
}
}
Thanks for the responses, and sorry for the confusion.

VtkActor is not displayed on WPF project

I am trying to load a RenderWindowControl from vtk libraries on my WPF project using ActiViz.NET and Visual Studio 2013. The library works fine since I did a new project just to practice on it but when I try to integrate it into my work, the actor is not shown. This is my code:

</WindowsFormsHost>
</UserControl>
VtkTabView.xaml.cs:
public partial class UITabView
{
protected static Random _random = new Random();
vtkActor actor = vtkActor.New();
public VtkTabView()
{
InitializeComponent();
var sphere = vtkSphereSource.New();
sphere.SetThetaResolution(8);
sphere.SetPhiResolution(16);
var shrink = vtkShrinkPolyData.New();
shrink.SetInputConnection(sphere.GetOutputPort());
shrink.SetShrinkFactor(0.9);
var move = vtkTransform.New();
move.Translate(_random.NextDouble(), _random.NextDouble(), _random.NextDouble());
var moveFilter = vtkTransformPolyDataFilter.New();
moveFilter.SetTransform(move);
moveFilter.SetInputConnection(shrink.GetOutputPort());
var mapper = vtkPolyDataMapper.New();
mapper.SetInputConnection(moveFilter.GetOutputPort());
// The actor links the data pipeline to the rendering subsystem
actor.SetMapper(mapper);
actor.GetProperty().SetColor(1, 0, 0);
RenderControl.Load += RenderWindowControlOnLoad;
}
void RenderWindowControlOnLoad(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var renderer = RenderControl.RenderWindow.GetRenderers().GetFirstRenderer();
renderer.AddActor(actor);
renderer.SetBackground(0, 1, 0);
renderer.Render();
}
}
As you can see, in the method RenderWindowControlOnLoad (VtkTabView.xaml.cs) I take the actor (a Sphere) and I add it to the render declared into the WPF but it is not displayed. I tried to change the background color and call to render just in case but it's still not working :(

Call
RenderControl.RenderWindow.Render();
instead of
renderer.Render();

i want to setSource to VideoBrush from appdataInterface.cs and the code is as below
public class cameraCustom : BaseCommand
{
public void camera(string arg)
{
PhotoCamera cam;
if ((PhotoCamera.IsCameraTypeSupported(CameraType.Primary) == true) ||
(PhotoCamera.IsCameraTypeSupported(CameraType.FrontFacing) == true))
{
// Initialize the camera, when available.
if (PhotoCamera.IsCameraTypeSupported(CameraType.FrontFacing))
{
// Use front-facing camera if available.
cam = new Microsoft.Devices.PhotoCamera(CameraType.FrontFacing);
}
else
{
// Otherwise, use standard camera on back of phone.
cam = new Microsoft.Devices.PhotoCamera(CameraType.Primary);
}
// Event is fired when the PhotoCamera object has been initialized.
cam.Initialized += new EventHandler<Microsoft.Devices.CameraOperationCompletedEventArgs>(cam_Initialized);
// Event is fired when the capture sequence is complete.
cam.CaptureCompleted += new EventHandler<CameraOperationCompletedEventArgs>(cam_CaptureCompleted);
// Event is fired when the capture sequence is complete and an image is available.
cam.CaptureImageAvailable += new EventHandler<Microsoft.Devices.ContentReadyEventArgs>(cam_CaptureImageAvailable);
// Event is fired when the capture sequence is complete and a thumbnail image is available.
cam.CaptureThumbnailAvailable += new EventHandler<ContentReadyEventArgs>(cam_CaptureThumbnailAvailable);
//Set the VideoBrush source to the camera.
Bank.MainPage view = new Bank.MainPage();
view.LayoutRoot.FindName("cameraBrush");
}
}
}
i want to set
cameraBrush.SetSource(cam);
from appdataInterface.cs.
How should i do this?

Well, you shouldn't be able to that that easily.
Pass MainPage to appdataInterface.cs and you can then call a method on MainPage that will actually set the brush:
// MainPage.xaml.cs
public void SetBrush(VideoBrush brush)
{
cameraBrush = brush;
}
// appdataInterface.cs
public appdataInterface(MainPage page)
{
_page = page;
}
// later on
_page.SetBrush(videoBrush);

If you will pass you'r MainPage instance to the appdataInterface.cs it should work as you want.
When you initialize your class, something like:
appdataInterface AI = new appdataInterface();
AI.Main=this;
In appdataInterface.cs you should have:
public MainPage Main {get;set;}
And on the MainPage.xaml.cs you should have cameraBrush - as a global public, then you can do this from you'r class:
Main.cameraBrush.SetSource(cam);
