Currently I use the below code on a static page to load an image in the page.
The image is stored in isolated storage and in my database I store the image location.
The image is successfully read from isolated storage and displayed on my static page.
What I now want to do, is it to use this same image in a ListBox
. but how can I bind the same code process to every ListBox
item through the DataTemplate
?
This is the code that works on my static page.
private void ReadFromIsolatedStorage(string _filename)
{
if (_filename != null)
{
WriteableBitmap bitmap = new WriteableBitmap(200, 200);
using (IsolatedStorageFile myIsoStorage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
{
using (IsolatedStorageFileStream fileStream = myIsoStorage.OpenFile(_filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
//StreamResourceInfo sri = Application.GetResourceStream(fileStream);
bitmap = PictureDecoder.DecodeJpeg(fileStream);
BinaryReader binary = new BinaryReader(fileStream);
byte[] imgByteArray = binary.ReadBytes((int)(fileStream.Length));
binary.Close();
binary.Dispose();
_imagearray = imgByteArray;
}
}
this.imagebox1.Source = bitmap;
//StreamResourceInfo sri = bitmap;
}
}
This is the incomplete xaml for the ListBox
that I need to somehow link to the above code.
<ListBox Name="List1" Height="463" SelectionChanged="List1_SelectionChanged">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<Grid >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="95" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="133" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="129" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="63" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Height="60" Width="60" Stretch="Uniform" Name="imageprofile" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Type}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="{Binding One}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="3" Text="{Binding two}" />
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
What you need is an IValueConverter
Your page static resources:
<Page.Resources>
<converters:FilenameToBitmapImageConverter x:Key="FilenameToBitmapImageConverter"/>
</Page.Resources>
in your item template:
<Image Source="{Binding FileName,Converter={StaticResource FilenameToBitmapImageConverter}}"/>
Your converter code:
public class FilenameToBitmapImageConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
string fileName = value as string;
if (fileName != null)
{
WriteableBitmap bitmap = new WriteableBitmap(200, 200);
using (IsolatedStorageFile myIsoStorage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
{
using (IsolatedStorageFileStream fileStream = myIsoStorage.OpenFile(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
//StreamResourceInfo sri = Application.GetResourceStream(fileStream);
bitmap = PictureDecoder.DecodeJpeg(fileStream);
}
}
return bitmap;
}
return null;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
