How to add image to formatted text at runtime?
posted

I want to add an image to a formatted text editor at runtime. The image is will be stored in a dataset as "image" type. I don't want to write the image locally and reference it, I would like to do it all in memory. I know the formatted text editor can save an image as XML data and see how it serializes it...but I need some help on doing that myself.

 Here is my thought. If I have some formatted text that looks like this I can just to a replace string and add my image to it:

str = <img style="width:16px; height:16px;" data="%MYIMAGE%"/>

str.Replace("%MYIMAGE%",newImageData)

I don't know how to get the newImageData. Do I just serialize the byte array of the image cell to a string and add that?

Thanks - Michael

    The FormattedLinkEditor class has a static method called EncodeImage which takes an image instance and returns a strings which you can use in the data tag.
