Windows 8: How do you add src attribute to an img tag when image is a stream not a file

  • Article

At runtime we may have file coming from sources like Web Cam. This is not a file at that point in time. It is just a stream. Now, if I am into a HTML WinJS app how can I add it?

Let’s you have a file with “myFile”.

 //Make the temporary URL (HTML5)

//This URL is valid only within the context

var url = URL.createObjectURL(myFile);

var img = document.createElement("img");

//Then add the URL as src

img.src = url;

Namoskar!!!
