'Usage
Dim instance As Rotation
<object property="enumerationMemberName" .../>

Member nameDescription
Rotate0The bitmap is not rotated. This is the default value.
Rotate90Rotate the bitmap clockwise by 90 degrees.
Rotate180Rotate the bitmap clockwise by 180 degrees.
Rotate270Rotate the bitmap clockwise by 270 degrees.

The following example demonstrates how to apply a rotation to a bitmap image.

' Define a BitmapImage. 
Dim myImage As New Image()
Dim bi As New BitmapImage()

' Begin initialization.
bi.BeginInit()

' Set properties.
bi.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnDemand
bi.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.DelayCreation
bi.DecodePixelHeight = 125
bi.DecodePixelWidth = 125
bi.Rotation = Rotation.Rotate90
MessageBox.Show(bi.IsDownloading.ToString())
bi.UriSource = New Uri("smiley.png", UriKind.Relative)

' End initialization.
bi.EndInit()
myImage.Source = bi
myImage.Stretch = Stretch.None
myImage.Margin = New Thickness(5)
