BitmapImage::StreamSource Property

.NET Framework (current version)

Gets or sets the stream source of the BitmapImage.

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

Syntax

public:
property Stream^ StreamSource {
	Stream^ get();
	void set(Stream^ value);
}

Property Value

Type: System.IO::Stream^

The stream source of the BitmapImage. The default is null.

Remarks

If StreamSource and UriSource are both set, the StreamSource value is ignored.

Set the CacheOption property to BitmapCacheOption::OnLoad if you wish to close the stream after the BitmapImage is created. The default OnDemand cache option retains access to the stream until the bitmap is needed, and cleanup is handled by the garbage collector.
