How to: Write Metadata to a Bitmap
This example shows how to write metadata to a bitmap using the metadata query language. For the complete sample, see BitmapMetadata Sample.
Example
Dim pngStream As New System.IO.FileStream("smiley.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite)
Dim pngDecoder As New PngBitmapDecoder(pngStream, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default)
Dim pngFrame As BitmapFrame = pngDecoder.Frames(0)
Dim pngInplace As InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter = pngFrame.CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter()
If pngInplace.TrySave() = True Then
pngInplace.SetQuery("/Text/Description", "Have a nice day.")
End If
pngStream.Close()
Stream pngStream = new System.IO.FileStream("smiley.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);
PngBitmapDecoder pngDecoder = new PngBitmapDecoder(pngStream, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);
BitmapFrame pngFrame = pngDecoder.Frames[0];
InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter pngInplace = pngFrame.CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter();
if (pngInplace.TrySave() == true)
{ pngInplace.SetQuery("/Text/Description", "Have a nice day."); }
pngStream.Close();
Stream^ pngStream = gcnew FileStream("smiley.png", FileMode::Open, FileAccess::ReadWrite, FileShare::ReadWrite);
PngBitmapDecoder^ pngDecoder = gcnew PngBitmapDecoder(pngStream, BitmapCreateOptions::PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption::Default);
BitmapFrame^ pngFrame = pngDecoder->Frames[0];
InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter^ pngInplace = pngFrame->CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter();
if (pngInplace->TrySave() == true)
{
pngInplace->SetQuery("/Text/Description", "Have a nice day.");
}
pngStream->Close();
