Question

I\'m trying to Convert a Bitmap (SystemIcons.Question) to a BitmapImage so I can use it in a WPF Image control.

I have the following method

Answer 1

You should be able to use:

    public BitmapImage QuestionIcon
    {
        get
        {
            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                System.Drawing.Bitmap dImg = SystemIcons.ToBitmap();
                dImg.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
                ms.Position = 0;
                System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage bImg = new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage();
                bImg.BeginInit();
                bImg.StreamSource = new MemoryStream(ms.ToArray());
                bImg.EndInit();
                return bImg;
            }
        }
    }

Answer 2

InteropBitmapImage inherits from ImageSource, so you can use it directly in an Image control. You don't need it to be a BitmapImage.

Answer 3

public System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage QuestionIcon
{
    get
    {
        using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            System.Drawing.Bitmap dImg = SystemIcons.ToBitmap();
            dImg.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            ms.Position = 0;
            var bImg = new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage();
            bImg.BeginInit();
            bImg.StreamSource = ms;
            bImg.EndInit();
            return bImg;
        }
    }
}
