Convert image to binary?

Question

I have an image (in .png format), and I want this picture to convert to binary.

How can this be done using C#?

Answer 1

First, convert the image into a byte array using ImageConverter class. Then specify the mime type of your png image, and voila!

Here's an example:

TypeConverter tc = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(Byte[]));
Response.ContentType = "image/png";
Response.BinaryWrite((Byte[])tc.ConvertTo(img,tc));

Answer 2

Try this:

Byte[] result 
    = (Byte[])new ImageConverter().ConvertTo(yourImage, typeof(Byte[]));
