Once the base of the tutorial application is completed, you can extend it with DICOM support using the following steps:

1. First, you need to add a reference to the ImageGear for Silverlight DICOM Assembly.
   1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click on References, and choose Add Reference.
   2. Choose the Browse tab, navigate to "ImageGear for Silverlight v20\Bin" directory, select ImageGear20.Formats.Dicom.dll, and click OK.

      You should now have the ImageGear20.Formats.Dicom assembly listed under References in the Solution Explorer:

      
      

2. Next, add the DICOM using statement. Open the code for Page.xaml.cs. At the top of the code add the following statement:
   

   C#	Copy Code
   using ImageGear.Formats.DICOM;

    

3. To add support for the DICOM Format to the application, add the following statements in the Page constructor after the "Initialize format components" comment:
   

   C#

   Copy Code

   // Support for DICOM format ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Insert(0, ImGearDICOM.CreateDICOMFormat()); // Set DICOM DIMSE control value for wide range of DICOM file detection. ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Get(ImGearFormats.DICOM).Parameters.GetByName("LoadDetectSkipDIMSE").Value = true; // Set LoadConcatenateRepeatedDE flag to true by default. ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Get(ImGearFormats.DICOM).Parameters.GetByName("LoadConcatenateRepeatedDE").Value = true;

   This will add the DICOM format to the ImageGear formats list. And now you are ready to compile and run the finished application supporting DICOM pages.

4. The Application can now support DICOM images. Press CTRL+F5 to compile and run the application.

For an example Presentation State support implementation, please refer to the Silverlight Medical Sample.
