LoadXml(DicomDataSet,Stream,DicomDataSetLoadXmlFlags) Method

Summary
Loads a stream containing a DICOM-encoded XML file.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
public static void LoadXml( 
   this DicomDataSet ds, 
   Stream stream, 
   DicomDataSetLoadXmlFlags xmlFlags 
) 
[ExtensionAttribute()] 
public: 
static void LoadXml(  
   DicomDataSet^ ds, 
   Stream^ stream, 
   DicomDataSetLoadXmlFlags xmlFlags 
)  

Parameters

ds
The Data Set that will be created and populated with the contents of the DICOM XML input file.

stream
The name of the input XML file.

xmlFlags
Flags that affect whether to ignore binary or all data from the DICOM XML input file.

Remarks

Use this method to read the contents of a DICOM XML file. The DICOM XML file can be created using SaveXml By default, all binary data is read from the DICOM input XML file, but this behavior can be modified by passing appropriate DicomDataSetLoadXmlFlags

Example
C#
using Leadtools.Dicom; 
using Leadtools.Dicom.Common; 
using Leadtools.Dicom.Common.Extensions; 
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Dicom.Common.Linq.BasicDirectory; 
using Leadtools.Dicom.Common.DataTypes; 
 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
 
public void LoadXmlExample2() 
{ 
   string dicomFileNameIn = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "DICOM", "image3.dcm"); 
   string dicomFileNameOut = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "test.dcm"); 
 
   // Initialize DICOM engine 
   DicomEngine.Startup(); 
 
   DicomDataSet ds = new DicomDataSet(); 
 
   // Load an existing DICOM file 
   ds.Load(dicomFileNameIn, DicomDataSetLoadFlags.None); 
 
   // Save as XML to a stream with no binary data 
   // For the demo, keep the XML output file size small by skipping the pixel data 
   DicomDataSetSaveXmlFlags xmlFlags = 
      DicomDataSetSaveXmlFlags.IgnoreBinaryData | 
      DicomDataSetSaveXmlFlags.TrimWhiteSpace | 
      DicomDataSetSaveXmlFlags.TagWithCommas; 
 
   Stream stream = new MemoryStream(); 
   ds.SaveXml(stream, xmlFlags); 
 
   // Display contents of stream 
   stream.Flush(); 
   stream.Position = 0; 
   StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream); 
   string xmlString = sr.ReadToEnd(); 
   Console.WriteLine(xmlString, "xml version of " + dicomFileNameIn); 
 
   // Now reload the XML file from the stream.   
   // Note that there will not be an image because we skipped the pixel data in the save 
   stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); 
   //stream.Position = 0; 
   ds.LoadXml(stream, DicomDataSetLoadXmlFlags.None); 
 
   ds.Save(dicomFileNameOut, DicomDataSetSaveFlags.None); 
 
   DicomEngine.Shutdown(); 
}
