public void LoadXml(

'Declaration

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

'Usage

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

public void LoadXml( 
   string file
)

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

public:
void LoadXml( 
   String^ file
)

Parameters

file: string that contains the name of the XML file containing the DICOM UIDs to load.

Beginning with version 18 of the toolkit, you can easily and quickly customize the DICOM UID table by editing the dicTableUid.xml file that is found in the LEADTOOLS Sample Images folder. The dicTableUid.xml file is a human-readable XML file that lists all of the DICOM UIDs currently defined in the DICOM Specification. You can edit this with any text editor (for example, notepad) to add or remove DICOM UIDs. Then call LoadXml and pass the full path of the dicTableUid.xml file. Note that calling LoadXml will first remove all DICOM UIDs that are already present in the table.

For more information, see the topic Working with DICOM Tables

This example loads the DICOM UID table from the dicTableUid.xml file that is shipped with the toolkit.
