Convert to BitmapImage

March 30, 2011 WPF Image Library Open source Snippet

Want to convert your KalikoImage (if your using C# Image Library) into a System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage for use with for instance WPF, then here's your code (kalikoImage being your KalikoImage object):

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
  kalikoImage.SaveBmp(ms);
  ms.Position = 0;
  BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();
  bi.BeginInit();
  bi.StreamSource = ms;
  bi.EndInit();

If you instead want to convert a System.Drawing.Bitmap to a System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage, then this is your code (myBmp being your Bitmap object):

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
  myBmp.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Bmp);
  ms.Position = 0;
  BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();
  bi.BeginInit();
  bi.StreamSource = ms;
  bi.EndInit();

Once you have your BitmapImage, you can pass that into a System.Windows.Controls.Image:

System.Windows.Controls.Image img = new System.Windows.Controls.Image();
  img.Source = bi;
