POHow to load a BitmapImage in MetroUI Dynamically
text
Body
copied!<p>I've been experimenting with Windows 8 and Metro UI, I've written a perfectly reasonable load of a bitmap image, but it doesn't seem to be loading, any help is appreciated.</p> <pre><code>Public Sub New(Image As String) Debug.Print("ms-resource://MyAssembly/" & Image) Img = New ImageBrush() Dim Bitmap As New BitmapImage() Bitmap.UriSource = New Uri("ms-resource://MyAssembly/" & Image, UriKind.Absolute) Img.ImageSource = Bitmap Width = Bitmap.PixelWidth Height = Bitmap.PixelHeight Debug.Print("Height: " & Height & " Width: " & Width) End Sub </code></pre> <p>In this example Width and Height always take values of zero. It is rendered in the same class..</p> <pre><code> Public Sub Render(X As Integer, Y As Integer, Canv As Canvas) Dim Sprite As New Shapes.Rectangle Sprite.Width = CDbl(Width) Sprite.Height = CDbl(Height) Sprite.Fill = Img Sprite.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, CDbl(Y)) Sprite.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, CDbl(X)) Canv.Children.Add(Sprite) End Sub End Class </code></pre> <p>And here is where it is created/called:</p> <pre><code>V = New Sprite("Images/Test.bmp") gameRoot.Children.Clear() V.Render(100, 100, gameRoot) </code></pre> <p>===</p> <p>it isn't a problem with my canvas object, because if i fill it with <code>Sprite.Fill = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.White)</code> then it works fine, and I see a white square on my screen, the bitmap in question is set to "Copy Always", and is in the destination folder when i view it.</p> <p>I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.</p>
