SharpDX render 2D polygon to offscreen bitmap

Question

I'm wondering what is the best way to render a polygon to WPF-compatable BitmapSource using DirectX (preferably SharpDX)?

I have to render tens of thousands of polygons like this offscreen to BitmapSource then include in a WPF applicatoin and need the fastest possible way to do it. The rendering must be performed off-screen for later showing in a WPF Image OR exporting to file.

(not actual size. Polygon size ranges from 16x16 to 24x24 pixels)

Any suggestions welcome!

WPF has its own ability to render shapes and does so using DirectX as DirectX is the underlying technology behind WPF. Here is a link to some some sample code for using SharpDX in WPF.
