CacheImage (Silverlight) for WP8/WP8.1

(deprecated)

CacheImage is a lightweight library, which introduces new control - CacheImage for Windows Phone 8/8.1 (Silverlight) and Universal Windows Platform (UWP Windows 10). This control can be used for caching images on disk. As soon as image loaded from the web, local copy will be used. The file name of the local copy contains a hash of the web link. Also, this library provides an ability to set up placeholder, while the image is downloading. The idea of the control came from here.

Usage

xmlns:lib="using:CacheImage"
    
...
    
<lib:CacheImage Url="http://www.google.com/doodle4google/images/d4g_logo_global.jpg" 
                Placeholder="/Assets/placeholder.png"
                />

Control contains the following own properties:

• Url - link to the image in the network starting with http or https
• Placeholder - path to the local image for using as a placeholder
• DecodePixelHeight - appropriate property of BitmapImage of the main image
• DecodePixelWidth - appropriate property of BitmapImage of the main image
• DecodePixelHeightPlaceholder - property DecodePixelHeight of BitmapImage of the placeholder image
• DecodePixelWidthPlaceholder - property DecodePixelWidth of BitmapImage of the placeholder image
• Stretch - appropriate property of BitmapImage of the main image
• StretchPlaceholder - property Stretch of BitmapImage of the placeholder image

Currently the version of the library for UWP (Windows 10) is the main implementation.

Library for Windows Phone 8/8.1 (Silverlight) is now deprecated and is not recommended for using because of the performance issues.
