In this quick tutorial, using the LEADTOOLS for WPF ImageViewer with Microsoft Expression Blend, you will design a layout and create an application that mounts a digital picture inside a digital frame. The entire XAML application can be created in a couple of minutes.
You can use the ImageViewer control to display almost any kind of image, anywhere in your window. In this case, we will use it to add a "picture frame" image. You can even display images on top of one another! In this project, we will use that feature to put a picture into the frame.

public const string ImagesDir = @"C:\Users\Public\Documents\LEADTOOLS Images";
}
private void ImageViewer_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
_imageViewer.Zoom(ControlSizeMode.Stretch, 1.0, _imageViewer.DefaultZoomOrigin);
_pictureViewer.Zoom(ControlSizeMode.Stretch, 1.0, _imageViewer.DefaultZoomOrigin);
using (RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs())
{
_imageViewer.Image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, @"TestFrame1.JPG"));
_pictureViewer.Image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, @"ImageProcessingDemo\Fruits.jpg"));
}
}
}
}
Press F5 to build your application. This will take a few seconds.
When it is done, you'll have a "framed" digital picture that you can resize like any window, with the "frame" and the "picture" resized together, but treated as separate objects:
