Binding Image.Source to String in WPF ?
- by Mohammad
I have below XAML code :
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<Image x:Name="TestImage" Source="{Binding Path=ImageSource}" />
</Grid>
</Window>
Also, there is a method that makes an Image from a Base64 string :
Image Base64StringToImage(string base64ImageString)
{
try
{
byte[] b;
b = Convert.FromBase64String(base64ImageString);
MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(b);
System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(ms);
//////////////////////////////////////////////
//convert System.Drawing.Image to WPF image
System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(img);
IntPtr hBitmap = bmp.GetHbitmap();
System.Windows.Media.ImageSource imageSource = System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(hBitmap, IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());
Image wpfImage = new Image();
wpfImage.Source = imageSource;
wpfImage.Width = wpfImage.Height = 16;
//////////////////////////////////////////////
return wpfImage;
}
catch
{
Image img1 = new Image();
img1.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"/passwordManager;component/images/TreeView/empty-bookmark.png", UriKind.Relative));
img1.Width = img1.Height = 16;
return img1;
}
}
Now, I'm gonna bind TestImage to the output of Base64StringToImage method.
I've used the following way :
public string ImageSource { get; set; }
ImageSource = Base64StringToImage("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").Source.ToString();
but nothing happen.
How can I fix it ?
BTW, I'm dead sure that the base64 string is correct
