ImageLoader.UseSvgImages Property

Enables SVG images in WinForms applications.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Utils

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Declaration

C#

public bool UseSvgImages { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property UseSvgImages As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the SVG images are enabled for a WinForms application; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The Solution Wizard enables SVG images for all new XAF WinForms applications. For this purpose, the wizard generates new projects with the FrameworkSettings.DefaultSettingsCompatibilityMode property set to Latest.

To use PNG images instead, set the UseSvgImages property to false.

If an existing XAF application was created in v18.1 or earlier, it uses PNG images. To replace them with new SVG images, do the following:

• Check that your application uses new templates. The UseOldTemplates article demonstrates how to verify this. Old templates do not support SVG images.

• Set the UseSvgImages property to true in the Program.cs(vb) file:

  C#

  public class Program {
    public static void Main(string[] arguments) {
      // ...
      MyApplication winApplication = new MyApplication();
      DevExpress.ExpressApp.Utils.ImageLoader.Instance.UseSvgImages = true;
      // ...
    }
  }
  

  VB.NET

  Public Class Program
    Public Shared Sub Main(ByVal arguments() As String)
      ' ...
      Dim winApplication As New MyApplication()
      DevExpress.ExpressApp.Utils.ImageLoader.Instance.UseSvgImages = True
      ' ...
    End Sub
  End Class
