Image control to Bitmap in WPF

Hi,

I have a WPF application with a Image control. How can I get the image in this control converted to a bitmap - where som work is done - and then move it back to the Image control again? I am working in C# in Visual Studio 2008 SP1.

Nest regards

Hi,

In this code it seems that the image has to be present in the file system. What if it is not - how do you get the image from the image control into a bitmap?

            int imW = (int)scannedImage.ActualWidth; //scannedImage is my System.Windows.Controls.Image
            int imH = (int)scannedImage.ActualHeight;

            RenderTargetBitmap renderTargetBitmap = new RenderTargetBitmap(imW, imH, 100, 100, PixelFormats.Default);
            renderTargetBitmap.Render(scannedImage); // Your image object

            PngBitmapEncoder pngBitmapEncoder = new PngBitmapEncoder();
            pngBitmapEncoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(renderTargetBitmap));

            System.Drawing.Image im2 =   //Here I want to convert to a System.Drawing.Image

            makePDF("c:\\testPDF.pdf", im2); //A method I have that takes two arguments - path and System.Drawing.Image

Hi again,

I solved it!

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
pngBitmapEncoder.Save(stream);
System.Drawing.Image im2 = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(stream);

Thanks a lot!
