Gets or sets the source for the bitmap. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: System.Windows.Media.Imaging
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Property Source As BitmapSource

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As TransformedBitmap
Dim value As BitmapSource

value = instance.Source

instance.Source = value

public BitmapSource Source { get; set; }

Visual C++

public:
property BitmapSource^ Source {
    BitmapSource^ get ();
    void set (BitmapSource^ value);
}

JScript

public function get Source () : BitmapSource
public function set Source (value : BitmapSource)

XAML

For XAML information, see the BitmapSource type.

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Media.Imaging..::.BitmapSource
The source for the bitmap. The default value is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Dependency Property Information

Identifier field	SourceProperty
Metadata properties set to true	None

Remarks

You can chain a TransformedBitmap to another BitmapSource by setting the Source property of the TransformedBitmap to the BitmapSource that you want. See How to: Chain BitmapSource Objects Together for an example of chaining.

Examples

This example shows how to rotate an image 90 degrees by using a Rotation property of a BitmapImage.

XAML

<Image Width="150" Margin="5" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1">
   <Image.Source>
     <BitmapImage UriSource="/sampleImages/watermelon.jpg" Rotation="Rotate90" />
   </Image.Source>
</Image>

Visual Basic

'Create Image element
Dim rotated270 As New Image()
rotated270.Width = 150

'Create source
Dim bi As New BitmapImage()
'BitmapImage properties must be in a BeginInit/EndInit block
bi.BeginInit()
bi.UriSource = New Uri("pack://application:,,/sampleImages/watermelon.jpg")
'Set image rotation
bi.Rotation = Rotation.Rotate270
bi.EndInit()
'set image source
rotated270.Source = bi

//Create Image element
Image rotated270 = new Image();
rotated270.Width = 150;

//Create source
BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();
//BitmapImage properties must be in a BeginInit/EndInit block
bi.BeginInit();
bi.UriSource = new Uri(@"pack://application:,,/sampleImages/watermelon.jpg");
//Set image rotation
bi.Rotation = Rotation.Rotate270;
bi.EndInit();
//set image source
rotated270.Source = bi;
