To Move the canvas to Left

double left = 100;

double top = 100;

CanvasControl.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, left);

CanvasControl.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, top);

Try this:

YourCanvas.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, 15);

YourCanvas.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, 15);

Hope this helps you.

Thanks varshavmane but its ok. I am working on a project where I want to for instance draw a line on a sub-image of a deep zoom composition. This line must zoom in and out with the image as the image zooms in and out. I thought of putting a vanvas on this image and then the line should resize with it - but it is not working - so now I am looking online for other ideas. PLease let me know if you have any ideas :) Thanks.

Hi there,

Im working on a Proof of COncept regarding silverlight. I am especially wanting to proof the use of DeepZoom. I want to annotate for instance a rectangle on a particular image within the multi-image group. The problem I currently have is that the animation of the deepzoom, and my resizing and moving of the rectangle gets out of sync and then it just doesnt look that good.

Please see a primitive example here:

Do you have any ideas as to how to fix this. I need to work on it ASAP :) Thanks a lot.

Go well,
Marthinus
