Examples

The following example demonstrates how to convert a base-64, encoded Ink Serialized Format (ISF) string to a StrokeCollection. This assumes that there is an InkPresenter called presenter.

// The base-64 encoded string that contains ink data 
// in ink serialized format (ISF).
string strokesString =
