Hi

I want to port a custom control that I have in WPF, it is derived from FrameworkElement and all the painting I do myself in OnRender method. However when I try to derive form FrameworkElement on SL2b1 I get an error
Error    1    The type 'System.Windows.FrameworkElement' has no constructors defined   
why that class has a private constructor.
Since, in my control (trading chart) I do all the paintings myself there is no reason for me to derive from Control or even more from UserControl.
So, what would be for me easiest solution to have a code that I could use under WPF and SL?

thx

 

There are two issues:

 You should be able to derive from FrameworkElement (i've done this before)...but OnRender is not supported in Silverlight 2....so converting the control may be more difficult.
