In my windows 8 app we are using WCF service to fetch the data, in the app images are displaying with the image urls like "http://mysite.com/images/sample.png".

In the xaml i am using image tag to display the image like this.

<Image Margin="0"  Source="http://mysite.com/images/sample.png" Height="100" Stretch="UniformToFill"   HorizontalAlignment="Left"   VerticalAlignment="Top"  Style="{StaticResource ImageFadeInStyle}"/>

i want to display the image in such a way that if resolution changes i want another image to be displayed. can you please suggest any ideas.

thanks in advance.

What is the content of the image? Do you really have to use pixel graphics?

Solution 1

See this link[^].
From this, you can get Resolution of your Image.
Now what you have to do is, once you get the particular resolution, put a check and within it write some logic to change the image.

Hope this info will help you. Give it a try.
Good Luck :)

Krunal,

Resolution of the image is a "fictional" metadata element. It does not affect the view of the bitmap in any way. People often call the size of something in pixel "resolution". This is a misnomer. OP probably means to detect screen size in pixels, and depending on it, re-sample images to some different size.

So, this answer won't be helpful.
