RasterImage from RasterThumbnailBrowser

Hi all,
i have a question... if I put a "RasterImage" in a "RasterThumbnailBrowser", using:

Items.Add(new RasterImageListItem(myRasterImage, 1, "test"))

Is there a way, to have the raster image back?

more clearly:
- if i call "myRasterThumbnailBrowser.SelectedItems[0].Image" i obtain the "thumbnailed" version of the original "myRasterImage". How can i do, to obtanin the "full-sized / original" rasterImage, from the selected item?

thanks,
Andrea.

Hello Andrea,

Are you looking to get the "full-sized" image so that it can be displayed in a RasterImageViewer? If so, you are likely going to want to reload the image from the hard-disk using RasterCodecs. Unless you are only going to have a few thumbnails loaded in the Thumbnail Browser, you will quickly run into an issue of not having enough memory for your application because all of your images are full-size. The common practive for this is to load a small image (thumbnail) for use in the Thumbnail browser, and when a user tries to load an image, you will use the original file name within the item to load the image again as a full-size image.

Having said that, here is a small example of how you could load a few full-sized images into the ThumbnailBrowser/RasterImageList control, and then display them in a RasterImageViewer when selected by the user.

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this, please let me know.
