Using taglib to display the cover art in a Image box in WPF

Question

I\'m making a player and I\'m stuck in a apparently simple problem. I need to make the cover art of the song to be displayed in one Image box. I found these two solutions:

Answer 1

Use System.Windows.Controls.Image to display your images on UI. You must set it's Source property in order to provide image data to render on UI.

// Load you image data in MemoryStream
TagLib.IPicture pic = f.Tag.Pictures[0];
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(pic.Data.Data);
ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

// ImageSource for System.Windows.Controls.Image
BitmapImage bitmap= new BitmapImage();
bitmap.BeginInit();
bitmap.StreamSource = ms;
bitmap.EndInit();

// Create a System.Windows.Controls.Image control
System.Windows.Controls.Image img = new System.Windows.Controls.Image();
img.Source = bitmap;

Then you can add/place this Image control to UI.
