Public Property Format As RasterImageFormat

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As CodecsOptions.CodecsLoadOptions Dim value As RasterImageFormat   instance.Format = value   value = instance.Format

public RasterImageFormat Format {get; set;}

public:
property RasterImageFormat Format {
   RasterImageFormat get();
   void set (RasterImageFormat value);
}

Return Value

By default, the value of this property is set to RasterImageFormat.Unknown. This means that the RasterCodecs object should try and recognize the format of the image its trying to load itself. If you know the format of the file, pass it to this member prior to calling RasterCodecs.Load, this will skip the format recognition process and speed up the load operation.

For example, if you call RasterCodecs.GetInformation on a file, you will get the image format in the CodecsImageInfo.Format property. You can then pass this value to the Format property of the CodecsOptions.CodecsLoadOptions to speed up the loading process prior of calling RasterCodecs.Load.
