How to update picture in c# while code running

string fileName = "Picture.bmp";
byte[] picture = new byte[9000000];
Encoding unicode = Encoding.Unicode;
byte[] PictureBits;
Debug.WriteLine(ip);
s = new SocketHandler(ip, Int32.Parse(port));
PictureBits = s.recive();
File.WriteAllBytes(fileName, PictureBits);
Thread.Sleep(1000); //will sleep for 5 sec
screenShot.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(#"bin\Debug\Picture.bmp", UriKind.Relative));

C# WPF - Popup which doesn't get focused

Im simply trying to make a little popup which shows a message in the corner. This Popup shuld be at the top of every other Window which I achieved with "TopMost", but I can't seem to get the unfocusable thing to work...
My PopUp XAML:
<Window x:Class="message.Popup"
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:message"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="Popup" Height="129.808" Width="300" Focusable="False" Topmost="True">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="179*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="113*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label x:Name="label" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,40,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="272" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"/>
</Grid>
How I call it (from annother Window):
private void textBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
new Popup(textBox.Text).Show();
}
PopUp code:
public Popup(string text)
{
InitializeComponent();
label.Content = text;
}

you must define your Mainwindow as Owner of the Popup and center the StartupLocation Property. Something like this:
PopUpWindow.Owner = MainWindow;
PopUpWindow.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner;
Or if you are calling it from another window:
PopUpWindow.Owner = this;
PopUpWindow.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner;
However I must say: this is not MVVM, since you are storing text in the Window class, and I strongly recommend you start reading about MVVM.

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:
MainWindow.xaml:
<Window x:Class="myProject.Views.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:VtkTab="clr-namespace:myProject.Views.UITabs.VtkTab"
x:Name="Mainwindow"
MinHeight="600"
MinWidth="800"
Title="{Binding Title}"
Height="720"
Width="1280"
Icon="{StaticResource ApplicationIcon}"
Loaded="OnLoaded"
DataContext="{Binding Main, Source={StaticResource ViewModelLocator}}"
Style="{StaticResource WindowStyle}"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<DockPanel>
<TabControl>
....
....
<VtkTab:VtkTabView />
....
....
</TabControl>
</DockPanel>
</Window>
VtkTabView.xaml:
<UserControl x:Class="myProject.Views.UITabs.VtkTab.VtkTabView"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:vtk="clr-namespace:Kitware.VTK;assembly=Kitware.VTK"
Height="480" Width="640">
<WindowsFormsHost Name="Wfh">
<vtk:RenderWindowControl x:Name="RenderControl" />
</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();

Show image in Full screen

I am working on Windows Phone 8 app and have a Image view like this in XAML:
<Image Name="Image"
Grid.Row="0"
Visibility="Collapsed"
Width="Auto"
Height="Auto"
Tap="Image_tap"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Margin="1,1,1,1"/>
Now i have this event called Tap="Image_tap", when i tap on the image i want to show the same image in full screen without any bar on top and bottom, how to acheive this ?

An alternative approach, without passing the image details between pages, is to display a Popup:
private void HandleTapImage(object sender, GestureEventArgs e)
{
var myPopup = new Popup
{
Child = new Image
{
Source = ((Image) sender).Source,
Stretch = Stretch.UniformToFill,
Height = Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualHeight,
Width = Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth
}
};
myPopup.IsOpen = true;
}
(Select Strech value best suited for your needs).
With this approach however you have to manually hide ApplicationBar and SystemTray, if present, in the HandleTapImage method. You also have to take care of hiding the Popup and showing the bars again.

Bottom bar is ApplicationBar and top bar is SystemTray. If you create a new page without the ApplicationBar and with SystemTray.IsVisible to false, you have a fullscreen page. Now, instead of having a Grid at the root, place just one Image and you can use that page as a fullscreen viewer.
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage
x:Class="SimpleApp.FullScreenPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:phone="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone"
xmlns:shell="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.Phone"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}"
FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeNormal}"
Foreground="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"
SupportedOrientations="Portrait" Orientation="Portrait"
mc:Ignorable="d"
shell:SystemTray.IsVisible="False">
<Image Name="myImage" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Stretch="Uniform"/>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>
In MainPage where you tap image:
private void myImg_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
string context = ((sender as Image).Source as BitmapImage).UriSource.ToString();
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri(String.Concat("/Page1.xaml?context=", context), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
}
In Fullscreenpage:
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
string context = this.NavigationContext.QueryString["context"];
myImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(context, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
}

does silverlight support streaming through mms?

I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 with Windows Media Service. At the client side, I want to use Silverlight to play the media file. I am using VSTS 2008 + Silverlight 3 + ASP.Net + .Net 3.5. I want to know whether Silverlight supports play mms streaming file from Windows Media Service? If yes, any code samples that I can make a quick test?

The MediaElement in Silverlight supports streaming via mms. You should have a look at the MSDN audio and video overview for Silverlight.
Here is a very basic Silverlight app which can control a MediaElement and shows the media state / buffering status:
XAML
<UserControl x:Class="StreamingTest.MainPage"
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"
mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<MediaElement x:Name="MediaElement" Width="640" Height="480" Source="mms://danarec:8080"/>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<TextBlock x:Name="Status" Margin="0,5"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="Buffer" Margin="10,5"/>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Button x:Name="Play" Content="Play" Click="Play_Click"/>
<Button x:Name="Pause" Content="Pause" Click="Pause_Click"/>
<Button x:Name="Stop" Content="Stop" Click="Stop_Click"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
C#
public partial class MainPage : UserControl
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.MediaElement.CurrentStateChanged += (sender, e) =>
{
this.Status.Text = this.MediaElement.CurrentState.ToString();
this.Buffer.Visibility = this.MediaElement.CurrentState == MediaElementState.Buffering ? Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed;
};
this.MediaElement.BufferingProgressChanged += (sender, e) =>
{
this.Buffer.Text = string.Format("{0:0.0} %", this.MediaElement.BufferingProgress * 100);
};
}
private void Play_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.MediaElement.Play();
}
private void Pause_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.MediaElement.Pause();
}
private void Stop_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.MediaElement.Stop();
}
}
