WinRT UI-elements rendering

Question

There is a need to make the picture from a UI element (WriteableBitmap or something similar). At Windows Phone this problem is solving by this way:

var frameworkElement = new Button();
.....
var wrb = new WriteableBitmap(frameworkElement, null);

There is no the such constructor overload of WriteableBitmap at Windows 8.

Is there a similar way to solve this problem for Windows 8?

Answer 1
