I want to render a grid as an image to use on a live tile in my Windows 8 Metro Style App.

Answer 1

Since WriteableBitmap.Render() is missing in WinRT your options are WriteableBitmapEx (CodePlex) or if you need fonts - Direct2D (you can use it from C# thanks to SharpDX).

Answer 2

Right now there is no way to render image from control.
