Raster.ReadOnlyData Property
Gets a reference to the read-only raster data.
Thread safety: This property is not thread-safe. Show
Syntax
public System.IO.Stream ReadOnlyData { get; }Property Value
Type: System.IO.Stream
The read-only raster data.
The read-only raster data.
Remarks
This property gives an application direct read-only access to the data buffer held by the Raster instance. This is preferable to the Data property if you only need read access to the data.
This property will return a new object instance, that keeps the underlying raster data alive, each time it is accessed. To make sure this data is properly garbage collected, use the following pattern in a .NET application:
// Read the property once
using (var data = aRaster.ReadOnlyData)
{
// Access properties and methods through the local variable
long length = data.Length;
data.Read(...);
}
// The local variable has now been disposed automatically
