Different types of ImageSource with PictureMarkerSymbol

DamonHill — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:28:42 GMT

PictureMarkerSymbol takes an ImageSource as its Source property.

When I create a PictureMarkerSymbol using a valid BitmapSource, which is a descendent of ImageSource, I get a TargetInvocationExeption. The InnerException is as follows:

InnerException: System.NotSupportedException
       Message=Specified method is not supported.

Is PictureMarkerSymbol depending on ImageSource being a BitmapFrameDecoded? I forgot to mention that this is in the WPF Runtime SDK 1.0.

I've narrowed it down to the exception occurring if the ImageSource is a BitmapSource which is a CachedBitmap.

It works fine if the ImageSource is a BitmapSource which is a BitmapImage.

For now I'm using a work around where I encode the image source to a stream, and then load it as a BitmapImage, which PictureMarkerSymbol is happy to use as its Source.
