Ink Errors

1. If you run into errors about IACore, look into the bin folder of the application folder and make sure the relevant libraries are inside there. This is true for both development and deployment environment
C:\Users\awtan\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\SilverlightInkServicesCSharp\bin

2. The architecture for pen input of salon is as follows:
a. Salon main program (which resides on gbeacon) contains an ink folder that holds the clientbin output of the MSDNMagAnnotationClient program. Hence when we call inkinput.aspx it actually calls the silverlight application from the MSDNMagAnnotationClient program.

b. As we submit the request from MSDNMagAnnotationClient (silverlight ink program), we will send a request to pragma which contains the SilverlightInkServicesCSharp WPF service. The service translates the strokes and outputs the text information.

c. The text then gets display in the MSDNMagAnnotationClient textfield. Through javascript, it communicates with the flex textfield.
