This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5

Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
BitmapImage..::.Rotation Property

Gets or sets the angle that this BitmapImage is rotated to. This is a dependency property.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Media.Imaging
Assembly:  PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation, http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property Rotation As Rotation
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As BitmapImage
Dim value As Rotation

value = instance.Rotation

instance.Rotation = value
C#
public Rotation Rotation { get; set; }
Visual C++
public:
property Rotation Rotation {
    Rotation get ();
    void set (Rotation value);
}
JScript
public function get Rotation () : Rotation
public function set Rotation (value : Rotation)
XAML Attribute Usage
<object Rotation="Rotation" .../>

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Media.Imaging..::.Rotation
The rotation that is used for the BitmapImage. The default is Rotate0.

Identifier field

RotationProperty

Metadata properties set to true

None

Rotation is performed after scaling. This means that an image that has a Rotation of Rotate90, a DecodePixelWidth of 10, and DecodePixelHeight of 5 will result in an image that has a width of 5 and a height of 10.

The following code example demonstrates how to rotate an image by using Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and code.

XAML
<Image Width="150" Margin="5" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1">
  <Image.Source>
    <TransformedBitmap Source="/sampleImages/watermelon.jpg" >
      <TransformedBitmap.Transform>
        <RotateTransform Angle="90"/>
      </TransformedBitmap.Transform>
    </TransformedBitmap>
  </Image.Source>
</Image>
Visual Basic
' Create Image element.
Dim rotated90 As New Image()
rotated90.Width = 150

' Create the TransformedBitmap to use as the Image source.
Dim tb As New TransformedBitmap()

' Create the source to use as the tb source.
Dim bi As New BitmapImage()
bi.BeginInit()
bi.UriSource = New Uri("sampleImages/watermelon.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
bi.EndInit()

' Properties must be set between BeginInit and EndInit calls.
tb.BeginInit()
tb.Source = bi
' Set image rotation.
Dim transform As New RotateTransform(90)
tb.Transform = transform
tb.EndInit()
' Set the Image source.
rotated90.Source = tb
C#
// Create Image element.
Image rotated90 = new Image();
rotated90.Width = 150;

// Create the TransformedBitmap to use as the Image source.
TransformedBitmap tb = new TransformedBitmap();

// Create the source to use as the tb source.
BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();
bi.BeginInit();
bi.UriSource = new Uri(@"sampleImages/watermelon.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
bi.EndInit();

// Properties must be set between BeginInit and EndInit calls.
tb.BeginInit();
tb.Source = bi;
// Set image rotation.
RotateTransform transform = new RotateTransform(90);
tb.Transform = transform;
tb.EndInit();
// Set the Image source.
rotated90.Source = tb;
