Hi all

I have some (more than 2000) .emf images. These are very simple images, say, in each .emf file there is only a circle.

Now i want for every circle a xaml path.

I know how to get this path manually: There is a tool Paste2Xaml.exe (downloadable for free) which can make this conversion.

Has anyone an idea, how to do this programmatically, or is there another solution than really to this conversion for all 2000 files?

Thanks for any help!

What's an issue? XAML is an XML-based markup language developed by Microsoft. You can edit it via using XML classes.

Ok, i found a solution:

I downloaded the dll ReaderWmf. After adding this dll to the project, the following code works for me ( i know, that there are exactly 2 paths in a .emf file.)

Viewbox box = Ab2d.ReaderWmf.Instance.Read(@"C:\Users\tkr\Desktop\16A-00.emf");

Canvas canvas = (Canvas)box.Child;
Path path1 = (Path)canvas.Children[0];
Path path2 = (Path)canvas.Children[1];

thx to all which helped me finding a solution!
