WinRT Loading an Image into a Byte array

Question

I\'m trying to learn how to interact with the some of the WinRT (Metro) objects for images. Basically, I\'m working towards creating a \"GetPixel\" and \"SetPixel\" method that

Answer 1

I have a WinRT version of the WriteableBitmapEx project here that does what you are looking for. Basically you need to load the image into a WriteableBitmap, then access its pixel buffer by calling PixelBuffer.AsStream(). Then you need to seek the stream to the x,y position (y * bmp.PixelWidth + x) to be able to read the pixel value. Then also convert the 4 bytes you get to the pixel format that works for you.

EDIT*

WriteableBitmapEx does natively support WinRT now.
