title: How to render a WPF UserControl to a bitmap without creating a window
body: <p>How can I render a WPF UserControl to a bitmap without creating a window? I need to render a WPF UserControl and upload it to another program. The bitmaps will be rendered through a Windows Service, so creating a window is not an option (I know there's ways to 'virtually' create windows, but unfortunately anything that calls a command to create a window is NOT an option in my case). Is there a way to RENDER the UserControl without binding it to a Window?</p>
