I'm trying to use the Caching Application Block to cache some images (these images take a long time to render)
BitmapSource bitmapSource; ///some bitmap source already created
_cache /// Caching Application Block
String someId; //id for this image, used as the key for the cache
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
PngBitmapEncoder encoder = new PngBitmapEncoder();
encoder.Interlace = PngInterlaceOption.On;
encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bitmapSource));
encoder.Save(stream);
_cache.Add(someId, stream);
}
And then load them using:
imStream = (Stream)_cache.GetData(someId));
if (imStream != null)
{
PngBitmapDecoder decoder = new PngBitmapDecoder(imStream, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);
return decoder.Frames[0]; //return the bitmap source
}
But during the load, i get the following exception at that "new PngBitmapDecoder" line:
"Cannot access a closed Stream.
I understand I closed the stream in the above code, but isn't _cache.Add() making a copy (via Serialization) before it exits? What's the correct process of serializing the stream?
THanks!
