   string fileName 
) 
Public Shared Function OpenFile(

Return Value

ILeadStream object. This method returns an instance of LeadFileStream.

Remarks

This object can then be passed to the various LEADTOOLS class members that accept an ILeadStream object. Such as RasterCodecs.GetInformationAsync, RasterCodecs.LoadAsync or RasterCodecs.LoadSvgAsync.

The method will create a new instance of LeadFileStream using:

C#
return new LeadFileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);

Refer to RasterCodecs Async Operations for more information and examples.
