Using C#, I'm trying to load a JPEG file from disk and convert it to a byte array. So far, I have this code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapFrame bitmapFrame;
using (var fs = new System.IO.FileStream(@"C:\Lenna.jpg", FileMode.Open))
{
bitmapFrame = BitmapFrame.Create(fs);
}
System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapEncoder encoder =
new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.JpegBitmapEncoder();
encoder.Frames.Add(bitmapFrame);
byte[] myBytes;
using (var memoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
{
encoder.Save(memoryStream); // Line ARGH
// mission accomplished if myBytes is populated
myBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
}
}
However, executing line ARGH
gives me the message:
COMException was unhandled. The handle is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070006 (E_HANDLE))
I don't think there is anything special about the file Lenna.jpg
- I downloaded it from http://computervision.wikia.com/wiki/File:Lenna.jpg. Can you tell what is wrong with the above code?
