BitmapCacheOption

Fields

Name	Value	Description
Default	0	Caches the entire image into memory. This is the default value.
OnDemand	0	Creates a memory store for requested data only. The first request loads the image directly; subsequent requests are filled from the cache.
OnLoad	1	Caches the entire image into memory at load time. All requests for image data are filled from the memory store.
None	2	Do not create a memory store. All requests for the image are filled directly by the image file.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to load a BitmapImage and specify the BitmapCacheOption.

C#

// Define a BitmapImage.
Image myImage = new Image();
BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();

// Begin initialization.
bi.BeginInit();

// Set properties.
bi.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnDemand;
bi.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.DelayCreation;
bi.DecodePixelHeight = 125;
bi.DecodePixelWidth = 125;
bi.Rotation = Rotation.Rotate90;
MessageBox.Show(bi.IsDownloading.ToString());
bi.UriSource = new Uri("smiley.png", UriKind.Relative);

// End initialization.
bi.EndInit();
myImage.Source = bi;
myImage.Stretch = Stretch.None;
myImage.Margin = new Thickness(5);
