Question

Link this post I want to be able to read an image files height and width without reading in the whole file into memory.

In the post Frank Krueger mentions there is a way of doing this with some WPF Imaging classes. Any idea on how to do this??

Answer 1

This should do it:

var bitmapFrame = BitmapFrame.Create(new Uri(@'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Winter.jpg'), BitmapCreateOptions.DelayCreation, BitmapCacheOption.None); var width = bitmapFrame.PixelWidth; var height = bitmapFrame.PixelHeight;
