Having trouble setting imgeditcontrol.ImageEditorUI.Image from code

[Sven]

Hi guys,

I have an image that I want to load in the ImageEditor, however am getting all sorts of errors. I tried BitmapImage, WritableBitmap, RadBitmap. The first 2 can not be converted. And the RadBitmap gave me something in the effect "Can not convert 1 dimensional...."

Can you help guide me how would I go about this. I am trying to open the ImageEditor as UserControl inside RadWindow. I am also working in VB.NET

Thanks
SD

Just to clarify,

I am using imagetools to decode and encode the image as jpeg and would like to use that stream to display the image in the ImageEditor so I can crop and save it to the DB.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi Sven,

There are image format providers that work out of the box and are used to convert between streams and the RadBitmap class. You can find them in the Telerik.Windows.Controls.ImageEditor.FormatProviders namespace and we ship the following:

• BmpFormatProvider (supporting import and export)
• JpegFormatProvider (Supporting import only. You can find how to export JPEGs in this blog post)
• PngFormatProvider (supporting import and export)

You can always create a WriteableBitmap with the contents of your image, use the RadBitmap(WriteableBitmap source) constructor and assign the instance to the image editor.
Best wishes,
Ivailo
