You have some images in your application bundle and want to
display one of the images in your application UI.
Assuming you have the Images
folder within the Resources folder. Within the Images
folder, you have an image named “A Good
Day to Die Hard.jpg”. You can load an UIImageView view with the following
method:
this.imageView.Image =
UIImage.FromFile("Images/A Good Day to Die Hard.jpg");
The UIImage.FromFile()
method loads the image asynchronously. It also allows the application to load
the image from an external location.
Alternatively, you can also use the UIImage.FromBundle() method to load the
image:
this.imageView.Image =
UIImage.FromBundle("Images/A Good Day to Die Hard.jpg");
Unlike the UIImage.FromFile() method, the UIImage.FromBundle() method is a blocking call and only loads images from within the application bundle. However, it caches the images aftre loading it. In general, use the UIImage.FromBundle() method if you need to frequently load the same image. Otherwise, use the UIImage.FromFile() method as it is asynchronous and will not block your UI.
