Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As RasterCodecs
Dim handler As EventHandler(Of CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs)

Event Data

The event handler receives an argument of type CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs containing data related to this event. The following CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs properties provide information specific to this event.

PropertyDescription
Cancelled (Inherited from System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs)Gets a value indicating whether an asynchronous operation has been canceled.
Error (Inherited from System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs)Gets a value indicating which error occurred during an asynchronous operation.
FileName (Inherited from Leadtools.Codecs.CodecsAsyncCompletedEventArgs)Gets the file name this asynchronous operation is using.
Image Gets the Leadtools.RasterImage class instance that is being loaded.
Stream (Inherited from Leadtools.Codecs.CodecsAsyncCompletedEventArgs)Gets the stream this asynchronous operation is using.
Uri (Inherited from Leadtools.Codecs.CodecsAsyncCompletedEventArgs)Gets the URI this asynchronous operation is using.
UserState (Inherited from System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs)Gets the unique identifier for the asynchronous task.

Remarks

The RasterCodecs class supports loading image files asynchronously using the LoadAsync methods. When calling any of these methods, the caller thread will not be blocked and the method will return instantly with an instance Leadtools.RasterImage that is in a loading status (RasterImage.IsLoading set to true). You should not use the other properties of this object while the object is in loading status.

When the RasterCodecs object finishes loading the image, the various properties of the Leadtools.RasterImage will be populated with the image information and data and the RasterImage.IsLoading property will be set to false.

It is recommended that you do not poll for the RasterImage.IsLoading property to check when the image is finished loaded, instead, subscribe to the LoadAsyncCompleted event to get notification on when the RasterCodecs.LoadAsync operation is completed and if any errors occurred.

The LoadAsyncCompleted event data will also contain the same object returned from LoadAsync so you do not have to keep the original object in your application.

The LoadAsyncCompleted event use data argument object of type CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs. This class contains the following properties:

Property Description
CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs.Uri, CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs.Stream and CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs.FileName

Contains the URI, stream or file name passed to the method that initialized this asynchronous operation.

Only one of these properties can be a valid value (not a null reference) at any time The property that contains a valid reference depends on what version of LoadAsync method has been called.

For example, if LoadAsync(Uri uri, object userState) is being called, the CodecsAsyncCompletedEventArgs.Uri will contain the same URI passed to the method while CodecsAsyncCompletedEventArgs.Stream and CodecsAsyncCompletedEventArgs.FileName will both be null. If LoadAsync(String fileName, object userState) is being called, the CodecsAsyncCompletedEventArgs.FileName will contain the same file name string value passed to the method while CodecsAsyncCompletedEventArgs.Uri and CodecsAsyncCompletedEventArgs.Stream will both be null and so on.

CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs.Image

Contains the Leadtools.RasterImage class instance that contains the image data being loaded. This instance is the same object returned from the LoadAsync method. While the asynchronous operation is running, the value of the RasterImage.IsLoading will be true indicating that the object is being populated with the image information and should not be used. Whe the asynchronous operation compelets, the LoadAsyncCompleted event will fire and Image will contain the final and ready to use object. If an error occurs, this property will be set to null and the object is disposed internally by the toolkit.

CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error

Contains any errors that might have occured during the asynchronous operation. You musg check this value when the LoadAsyncCompleted event fires and make sure it does not contain a valid System.Exception object.

CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs.Cancelled

Contains a value indicating whether an asynchronous operation has been canceled. For example, by calling CancelAsync when using RasterCodecs.LoadAsync with a URL.
