Which is the best way to load bitmap?

[capisx]

Hi all,

Can someone tell me which is the best way to load image regarding memory consumption:

1. Load directly to view variable like sample code bellow

ImageView1.Bitmap=LoadBitmapSample(File.DirAssets,"image.png",ImageView1.Width,ImageView1.Height)

Button1.SetBackgroundImage(LoadBitmapSample(File.DirAssets,"image.png",Button1.Width,Button1.Height))

--- or ---

2. Load to Bitmap object first then assign it to the view

Dim loadbmp as Bitmap
loadbmp.InitializeSample(File.DirAssets,"image.png",loadbmp.Width,loadbmp.height)

ImageView1.Bitmap=loadbmp
Button1.SetBackgroundImage(loadbmp)

Or maybe both use the same amount of memory.

Sorry if this is a stupid question . Thanks.

Hi capisx,

You could do both,but you should load bmp file from File.DirAssets only once by use if FirstTime Then...End If
