This summer, I spent some time working through a host of scenarios to move ink data around when you have collected it on a web page. Because the ink data is only available on the client side, there are a number of hoops to jump through and pitfalls to avoid. "Persisting Ink on the Web" walks through each of the following tasks:

• Transferring Ink to another Ink-Enabled Control on the Same Page
• Transferring Ink to an Ink Control on Another Page in a New Browser Window
• Moving Ink to Another Page in the Same Browser Window
• Transferring Ink to Another Page as a GIF
• Storing Ink in an XML File on the Web Server to Be Used at a Later Time
• Storing and Retrieving Ink from a SQL Server Database
• Sending Ink to a Web Service
• Surviving a Postback
