Vista - Problem viewing images (emf, wmf) ?

Hi,

It seems like I can't view pictures anymore, except jpg. I have tried the
following code:

<Image Width="800" Height="600" Source="C:\test.emf" />

test.wmf won't work either.

or

<Rectangle Width="800" Height="600">
<Rectangle.Fill>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="C:\test.emf" />
</Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>

Again emf and wmf doesn't work.

I have read that there is a bug in the latest beta of WinFX but as I am able
to at least view jpgs it can't be the same bug, or is it?

EMFs and WMFs are not supported within WPF or WIC.

yes, doesn't work with the latest beta 2 build.
A bit strange on why it should stop working.

I see no reason technically why they shouldn't be supporting emf in wpf.

Did this just "stop working" or did it never work in the first place?

With the WIC (Windows Imaging Component) infrastructure, we provide the ability for ISVs to implement their own CODECs.

My opinion is this should be provided by Microsoft and not by third party.

I think EMF work before. This is from the SDK doc.

"You can construct Image objects from a variety of file types including BMP,
ICON, GIF, JPEG, Exif, PNG, TIFF, WMF, and EMF."

So even WMF should work.

The text that you're pointing too is for GDI+, not the WPF portion of the documentation. WPF does not support EMF or WMF.

http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com...asp?frame=true

There are no references to WMF or EMF in the WPF documentation.

If you're interested in working w/ WMF sources, you can convert a WMF image to XAML using Microsoft Expression Graphic Designer... See this blog entry for instructions:
