CachedBitmap Class

Provides caching functionality for a BitmapSource.

Namespace: System.Windows.Media.Imaging
Assembly: PresentationCore (in presentationcore.dll)
XML Namespace:  http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class CachedBitmap
	Inherits BitmapSource
'Usage
Dim instance As CachedBitmap

public final class CachedBitmap extends BitmapSource
public final class CachedBitmap extends BitmapSource
You cannot use this managed class in XAML.

A BitmapSource does not cache bitmap data automatically. Using a CachedBitmap can improve performance in scenarios where multiple operations (such as clipping an image or scaling) need to be performed on a single bitmap.

The following code example shows how to create and use a CachedBitmap in code.

Dim cachedSource As New CachedBitmap(scaledSource, BitmapCreateOptions.None, BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad)
' Create a new BitmapSource using a different format than the original one.
Dim newFormatSource As New FormatConvertedBitmap()
newFormatSource.BeginInit()
newFormatSource.Source = cachedSource
newFormatSource.DestinationFormat = PixelFormats.Gray32Float
newFormatSource.EndInit()
