In This Article
Namespace:
ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls
Assembly:
ActiproSoftware.Shared.Wpf.dll

Represents a value converter that returns a new Image instance created using a specified URI or BitmapSource.

[ValueConversion(typeof(string), typeof(Image))]
[ValueConversion(typeof(Uri), typeof(Image))]
[ValueConversion(typeof(BitmapSource), typeof(Image))]
public class ImageConverter : DependencyObject
Inheritance:
object object

Remarks

This converter expects the source value to be a System.Uri, a URI string, or a BitmapSource that can be used to create a new Image instance. A prefix can be defined in UriPrefix which will be prepended to all source values of type string before the Image is created.

Width

Gets or sets the target width of the image.

public double Width { get; set; }
