Geo Referenced BMP

Question

I'm using 100.9 runtime and found out that BMP files are not supported by Raster Layer,

Is there a simple way to open the bmp file and determine if its geo referenced?

using runtime sdk or any other way (without using external software like arcgis pro of course)

Thanks for any advice!

thanks michael, i dont need to georeference the bmp file, i need to determine if the existing file is georeferenced.

with jpg files for example i load the file as raster layer and check the "SpatialReference" property if its not null, that means the file is geo referenced.

Thanks for the answer, i only need to know if the file is georeferenced or not, so what you suggest is taking the file name and check if we have the same name with prj postfix?

Hi, You could try using a KML GroundOverlay e.g. `GroundOverlay_BMP.kml` references a bitmap via relative path `BMP\bmp.bmp`: ``` GroundOverlay_BMP BMP/bmp.bmp 20 0 20 0 0 ``` Mike
