public void LoadXml( 
   string file
)

'Declaration

Public Overloads Sub LoadXml( _
   ByVal file As String _
)

'Usage

Dim instance As DicomIodTable
Dim file As String
 
instance.LoadXml(file)

public void LoadXml( 
   string file
)

 function Leadtools.Dicom.DicomIodTable.LoadXml(String)( 
   file 
)

public:
void LoadXml( 
   String^ file
)

Parameters

file: string that contains the name of the XML file containing the DICOM IODs and modules to load.

Quickly and easily customize the DICOM IOD table by editing the dicTableIodModule.xml file that is found in the LEADTOOLS Sample Images folder. The dicTableIodModule.xml file is a human-readable XML file that lists all of the DICOM IODs and DICOM Modules currently defined in the DICOM Specification. You can edit this with any text editor (for example, notepad) to add or remove DICOM IODs and modules. Then call LoadXml and pass the full path of the dicTableIodModule.xml file. Note that calling LoadXml will first remove all DICOM IODs and modules that are already present in the table.

For more information, see the topic Working with DICOM Tables

This example loads the DICOM IOD table from the dicTableIodModule.xml file that is shipped with the toolkit.
