Image control and large textures

[onslauth]

I am using an Image control to display images. The images are loaded from memory into a SoftwareBitmap then converted to a SoftwareBitmapSource to set the Image.Source property.

Recently when testing a Surface Pro device, I ran into the following error message:
Cannot create CanvasImageSource sized 19532 x 40; MaximumBitmapSizeInPixels for this device is 16384.

I would like to know what would be the correct way to display large textures using the Image control?

Please take a look at CompositionVirtualDrawingSurface to handle very large sizes. It's a lower-level rendering/composition primitive, and the app will need to decide the image into tiles. There are hardware limits about the maximum size of a D3D texture.

when testing a Surface Pro device,

On Windows 10, even without real graphic card, I did some tests and I can load a lot larger images (like 20000x3400)
(and MaximumBitmapSizeInPixels is from Win2D; are you sure you don't use any other classes than just a SoftwareBitmap ?)
