LoadOptions(string) Method

Summary
Loads the options into this RasterCodecs from a disk file.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
Python
public void LoadOptions( 
   string fileName 
) 
public: 
void LoadOptions(  
   String^ fileName 
)  
def LoadOptions(self,fileName): 

Parameters

fileName
A String that contains the name of a disk file containing the options to load

Remarks

The RasterCodecs options can be easily saved to a disk or stream using SaveOptions(string fileName) or SaveOptions(Stream stream) and then loaded back into the same or a different RasterCodecs object using LoadOptions(string fileName) or LoadOptions(Stream stream).

Saving and loading the options is handy for situations where a RasterCodecs with specialized options other than the default is used. For example, in a server application as demonstrated by the example.

The options are saved in a standard XML file (with UTF-8 encoding) in the following format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> 
<leadtools_raster_codecs> 
  <options> 
     <option FullPropertyName="value" /> 
  </options> 
</leadtools_raster_codecs> 

FullPropertyName is the exact .NET property name of the options as accessed by the RasterCodecs object, for example, if you have a RasterCodecs object called rasterCodecsInstance, then you can access the CodecsRasterizeDocumentLoadOptions.XResolution using:

rasterCodecsInstance.RasterizeDocument.Load.XResolution

And hence, the FullPropertyName if this option will be RasterizeDocument.Load.XResolution.

The LoadOptions(string fileName) and LoadOptions(Stream stream) methods will merge the content of the XML file with the current RasterCodecs options. Therefore, you can delete any option elements that do not override the default behavior from the file if desired.

Example

This example shows how to save the options and then load them in a server application.

   // is meant to be called from ourside the service by an administrator. 
   // 
   // We can change any option we want off-line and then save the file 
   // Our service will pick up the new options from the file and use them

      string optionsFilePath = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["RasterCodecsOptionsFilePath"]; 
 
      // See if it is set 
      if (optionsFilePath != null) 
      { 
         // Yes, create a new RasterCodecs object 
         using (RasterCodecs rasterCodecs = new RasterCodecs()) 
         { 
            // Change any options, for example, set the default resolution for document files ... 
            rasterCodecs.Options.RasterizeDocument.Load.XResolution = 300; 
            rasterCodecs.Options.RasterizeDocument.Load.YResolution = 300; 
            // And enable loading text files as RasterImage support 
            rasterCodecs.Options.Txt.Load.Enabled = true; 
 
            // Save the options to the file specified by the config 
            rasterCodecs.SaveOptions(optionsFilePath); 
         } 
      }
