Settings.EnableRedrawRegions Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to show the areas of the Silverlight plug-in that are being redrawn each frame.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Interop
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property EnableRedrawRegions As Boolean
public bool EnableRedrawRegions { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the areas of the plug-in that are being redrawn each frame are shown; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The EnableRedrawRegions property enables a diagnostic feature that is used during development for performance-tuning your application by showing the areas of the plug-in that are being redrawn each frame. You cannot set this property during initialization. Typically you would turn this property on and off using an event handler, after the Silverlight plug-in is loaded.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use this property.

' The Host object, which represents the host Silverlight plug-in. 
Dim host As System.Windows.Interop.SilverlightHost = _
    Application.Current.Host

' The following code demonstrates how to use the Host object 
' to access other APIs in the System.Windows.Interop namespace. 

' The IsVersionSupported method. This method is useful when 
' you want to implement an upgrade experience in managed code. 
Dim isSupported As Boolean = host.IsVersionSupported("2.0.30908.0")

' Read-only properties of the Host object. 
Dim pluginBackground As System.Windows.Media.Color = host.Background
Dim loaded As Boolean = host.IsLoaded
Dim source As Uri = host.Source

' The Settings object, which represents Web browser settings. 
Dim settings As System.Windows.Interop.Settings = host.Settings

' Read/write properties of the Settings object. 
settings.EnableFrameRateCounter = True
settings.EnableRedrawRegions = True
settings.MaxFrameRate = 60

' Read-only properties of the Settings object. 
Dim windowless As Boolean = settings.Windowless
Dim htmlAccessEnabled As Boolean = settings.EnableHTMLAccess

' The Content object, which represents the plug-in display area. 
Dim content As System.Windows.Interop.Content = host.Content

' The read/write IsFullScreen property of the Content object. 
' See also the Content.FullScreenChanged event. 
Dim isFullScreen As Boolean = content.IsFullScreen

' Read-only properties of the Content object. These properties do 
' not contain meaningful values until after the Content.Resized 
' event occurs for the first time. 
Dim actualWidth As Double = content.ActualWidth
Dim actualHeight As Double = content.ActualHeight
// The Host object, which represents the host Silverlight plug-in.

// Read/write properties of the Settings object.

// Read-only properties of the Settings object.
