LateBoundBitmapDecoder Class
Defines a decoder that requires delayed bitmap creation such as asynchronous image downloads.

![]() | CodecInfo | Gets information that describes this codec.(Overrides BitmapDecoder::CodecInfo.) |
![]() | ColorContexts | Gets a value that represents the color profile that is associated with a bitmap, if one is defined.(Overrides BitmapDecoder::ColorContexts.) |
![]() | Decoder | Gets the underlying decoder that is associated with this late-bound decoder. |
![]() | Dispatcher | Gets the Dispatcher this DispatcherObject is associated with. (Inherited from DispatcherObject.) |
![]() | Frames | Gets the content of an individual frame within a bitmap.(Overrides BitmapDecoder::Frames.) |
![]() | IsDownloading | Gets a value that indicates whether the decoder is currently downloading content.(Overrides BitmapDecoder::IsDownloading.) |

| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | DownloadCompleted | Occurs when a BitmapDecoder has finished downloading bitmap content.(Inherited from BitmapDecoder.) |
![]() | DownloadFailed | Occurs when bitmap content failed to download.(Inherited from BitmapDecoder.) |
![]() | DownloadProgress | Occurs when a BitmapDecoder has made progress downloading bitmap content.(Inherited from BitmapDecoder.) |
A LateBoundBitmapDecoder is used when DelayCreation is specified. The Decoder property creates the necessary "real decoder" on an on-demand basis. All decoder properties return null while content is downloading.
A LateBoundBitmapDecoder can also be created when the system has an image that is being asynchronously downloaded locally. In this case, the decoder also returns null for properties until the image has been downloaded. The application can check the IsDownloading property or add a delegate for the DownloadCompleted event to monitor the download status. Furthermore, any frames obtained from a LateBoundBitmapDecoder while the image is downloading will return a width/height of 1,1 until the frames have finished downloading.
BitmapFrame objects that are returned by this class are frozen and are therefore immutable.
