Answer 1

WPF - Get an Image Resource and Convert to System.Drawing.Image

var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"pack://application:,,,/"
    + Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name
    + ";component/"
    + "images/pp.png", UriKind.Absolute));

var encoder = new PngBitmapEncoder();
encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create((BitmapImage)bitmapImage));
var stream = new MemoryStream();
encoder.Save(stream);
stream.Flush();
var image = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(stream);

Note:

• Use "/" instead of "\"
• Consider reading Pack URIs in WPF (important part: Resource File Pack URIs)
• Add reference to system.drawing.dll

Local Assembly Resource File

The pack URI for a resource file that is compiled into the local assembly uses the following authority and path: pack://application:,,,/ReferencedAssembly;component/Subfolder/ResourceFile.Ext
