How to convert XPS to Bitmap?

Question

I think my question in a resolved issue got lost, so I ask this fresh:

 

I'm too looking for a way to convert xps to bitmap, and found this code:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=131564&SiteID=1

Pity is, it does not even compile on my system. I always get these two errors:

 

error CS1061: 'System.Windows.Xps.Packaging.XpsDocument' does not contain a definition for 'GetPackageRoot' and no extension method 'GetPackageRoot' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Xps.Packaging.XpsDocument' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

error CS1061: 'System.Windows.Documents.FixedDocumentSequence' does not contain a definition for 'GetPage' and no extension method 'GetPage' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Documents.FixedDocumentSequence' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

 

Have these method names changed? I can't think (or find) any reference I might be missing

 

Or can someone just show me an example of how to convert XPS to Bitmap?

 

Thanks in advance,
Sam

Answer 1

something along these lines would work

Code Snippet

XpsDocument xpsDoc = new XpsDocument(@"c:\users\lee\doc1.xps", System.IO.FileAccess.Read);

FixedDocumentSequence docSeq = xpsDoc.GetFixedDocumentSequence();

DocumentReferenceCollection drc = docSeq.References;

foreach(DocumentReference dr in drc){

FixedDocument dp = dr.GetDocument(false);

PageContent pc = dp.Pages[0];

FixedPage fixedPage = pc.GetPageRoot(false);

double width = fixedPage.Width;

double height = fixedPage.Height;

Size sz = new Size(width, height);

fixedPage.Measure(sz);

fixedPage.Arrange(new Rect(new Point(), sz));

fixedPage.UpdateLayout();

BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();

RenderTargetBitmap renderTarget = new RenderTargetBitmap((int)width,(int)height,96,96,System.Windows.Media.PixelFormats.Default);

renderTarget.Render(fixedPage);

BitmapEncoder encoder = new BmpBitmapEncoder();

encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(renderTarget));

FileStream pageOutStream = new FileStream(@"c:\users\lee\doc1" + ".Page1.bmp", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);

encoder.Save(pageOutStream);

pageOutStream.Close();

}
