Display part of an image file in an Image object.

Question

I would like to display a part of a larger image (a png file) in an Image object and i want to do that in the c# code not in the xaml. Is there any way to do that? It would be a very tedious work to split the image file into fifty smaller images, especially since my graphic dude will keep making changes to the file.  

Answer 1

You can crop the photo when importing it with a BitmapDecoder.

Search the sample gallery for "crop bitmap" and you will find a sample.
