To customize the behaviour of ResourceDictionaryWriter it is possible to derive a custom class form ResourceDictionaryWriter and change protected fields or override its virtual methods.

Examples

The following code shows how to add three svg files to ResourceDictionary with basic optimization settings and get the xaml for the ResourceDictionary.

Copy
GeometrySettings settings = GeometrySettings.BasicOptimization;

ResourceDictionaryWriter resourceWriter = new ResourceDictionaryWriter();

resourceWriter.AddGeometryFile("button1.svg", settings);
resourceWriter.AddGeometryFile("button2.svg", settings);
resourceWriter.AddGeometryFile("button3.svg", settings);

string xaml = resourceWriter.GetXaml();

The following code shows how to derive a class from ResourceDictionaryWriter to create a Silverlight ResourceDictionaryWriter with custom NumberFormatString.

Copy
public class SilverlightResourceDictionaryWriter : Ab2d.Utility.ReaderSvg.ResourceDictionaryWriter
{
    protected override BaseXamlWriterSettings CreateXamlWriterSettings()
    {
        SilverlightXamlWriterSettings newSilverlightXamlWriterSettings;

        newSilverlightXamlWriterSettings = new SilverlightXamlWriterSettings();

        // format decimal numbers to show only one decimal
        newSilverlightXamlWriterSettings.NumberFormatString = "0.#";

        return newSilverlightXamlWriterSettings;
    }
}
