WPF - converting Bitmap to ImageSource

For others, this works:

    //If you get 'dllimport unknown'-, then add 'using System.Runtime.InteropServices;'    [DllImport("gdi32.dll", EntryPoint = "DeleteObject")]    [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]    public static extern bool DeleteObject([In] IntPtr hObject);    public ImageSource ImageSourceFromBitmap(Bitmap bmp)    {        var handle = bmp.GetHbitmap();        try        {            return Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(handle, IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());        }        finally { DeleteObject(handle); }                   }

For the benefit of searchers, I created a quick converter based on a this more detailed solution.

No problems so far.

using System;using System.Drawing;using System.IO;using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;namespace XYZ.Helpers{    public class ConvertBitmapToBitmapImage    {        /// <summary>        /// Takes a bitmap and converts it to an image that can be handled by WPF ImageBrush        /// </summary>        /// <param name="src">A bitmap image</param>        /// <returns>The image as a BitmapImage for WPF</returns>        public BitmapImage Convert(Bitmap src)        {            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();            ((System.Drawing.Bitmap)src).Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);            BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();            image.BeginInit();            ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);            image.StreamSource = ms;            image.EndInit();            return image;        }    }}

I do not believe that ImageSourceConverter will convert from a System.Drawing.Bitmap. However, you can use the following:

public static BitmapSource CreateBitmapSourceFromGdiBitmap(Bitmap bitmap){    if (bitmap == null)        throw new ArgumentNullException("bitmap");    var rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height);    var bitmapData = bitmap.LockBits(        rect,        ImageLockMode.ReadWrite,        PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);    try    {        var size = (rect.Width * rect.Height) * 4;        return BitmapSource.Create(            bitmap.Width,            bitmap.Height,            bitmap.HorizontalResolution,            bitmap.VerticalResolution,            PixelFormats.Bgra32,            null,            bitmapData.Scan0,            size,            bitmapData.Stride);    }    finally    {        bitmap.UnlockBits(bitmapData);    }}

This solution requires the source image to be in Bgra32 format; if you are dealing with other formats, you may need to add a conversion.
