Can someone please tell me about how to convert a thresholded image stored in a 'Bitmap' variable into a byte array and view the byte array in a text box or a text file, in C#?
Can someone please help me with the code to it?
i have threshoded the image using Aforge.net - link. And trying to view the byte array of it in 1s and 0s.
Thank you.
If your image is Bitmap you can use
LockBits and then Scan0 methods:

public static Byte[] BmpToArray(Bitmap value) {
BitmapData data = value.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, value.Width, value.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, value.PixelFormat);
try {
IntPtr ptr = data.Scan0;
int bytes = Math.Abs(data.Stride) * value.Height;
byte[] rgbValues = new byte[bytes];
Marshal.Copy(ptr, rgbValues, 0, bytes);
return rgbValues;
}
finally {
value.UnlockBits(data);
}
}
