Can't find System.Windows.Media namespace?

Question

I\'m using an object from a 3rd party API that has a property of type System.Windows.Media.ImageSource, yet I can\'t seem to find the System.Windows.Media names

Answer 1

The System.Windows.Media.Imaging namespace is part of PresentationCore.dll (if you are using Visual Studio 2008 then the WPF application template will automatically add this reference). Note that this namespace is not a direct wrapping of the WIC library, although a large proportion of the more common uses are still available and it is relatively obvious how these map to the WIC versions. For more information on the classes in this namespace check out
