Public NotInheritable Class InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter _
Inherits BitmapMetadata
Dim instance As InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter

public ref class InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter sealed : public BitmapMetadata
public final class InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter extends BitmapMetadata
You cannot directly create an instance of this class in XAML.
If BitmapMetadata is not associated with a BitmapFrame that is obtained through a BitmapDecoder, the attempt to write metadata by using the in-place writer will fail. Successful write operations apply the metadata directly to the image stream by means of a decoder.
In-place metadata updates fail if an attempt is made to write metadata that a given bitmap format does not support.
To perform in-place metadata edits, the bitmap must be decoded using either the Default or OnDemand cache options. OnLoad does not guarantee access to the metadata stream needed for in-place metadata edits.
This example shows how you can modify metadata within an image without having to re-encode the image.
The following example uses an InplaceBitmapMetadataWriter to write metadata into an image. For the complete sample, see BitmapMetadata Sample.
Dim pngStream As New System.IO.FileStream("smiley.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite)
Dim pngDecoder As New PngBitmapDecoder(pngStream, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default)
Dim pngFrame As BitmapFrame = pngDecoder.Frames(0)
Dim pngInplace As InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter = pngFrame.CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter()
If pngInplace.TrySave() = True Then
pngInplace.SetQuery("/Text/Description", "Have a nice day.")
End If
pngStream.Close()
Stream pngStream = new System.IO.FileStream("smiley.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);
PngBitmapDecoder pngDecoder = new PngBitmapDecoder(pngStream, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);
BitmapFrame pngFrame = pngDecoder.Frames[0];
InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter pngInplace = pngFrame.CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter();
if (pngInplace.TrySave() == true)
{ pngInplace.SetQuery("/Text/Description", "Have a nice day."); }
pngStream.Close();
Stream^ pngStream = gcnew FileStream("smiley.png", FileMode::Open, FileAccess::ReadWrite, FileShare::ReadWrite);
PngBitmapDecoder^ pngDecoder = gcnew PngBitmapDecoder(pngStream, BitmapCreateOptions::PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption::Default);

if (pngInplace->TrySave() == true)
{
pngInplace->SetQuery("/Text/Description", "Have a nice day.");
}
