I have a wcf service which returns a bmp in byte[]. However Silverlight's Image control doesnt support displaying bmp's so i need to convert the bmp byte[] to png or jpg byte[]. Is there a library out there which does this conversion? Or any other way of displaying the bmp byte[] on the silverlight client?
Thanks!
Update1
In order to achieve the conversion I would have done something like this in .NET
private byte[] ConvertBmpToJpeg(byte[] bmp)
{
using (System.Drawing.Image image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(bmp)))
{
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
image.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
return ms.ToArray();
}
}
Since System.Drawing is not available in Silverlight, how do I achieve what the code does above in Silverlight?
Answer using the library mentioned by dj kraze below-
ExtendedImage img = new ExtendedImage();
var bd = new BmpDecoder();
var je = new JpegEncoder();
bd.Decode(img, new MemoryStream(bitmapBytes));
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
je.Encode(img, ms);
BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();
bi.SetSource(new MemoryStream(ms.ToArray()));
display_ScreenShot.Source = bi;
Here is an even easier way of doing it.. This site may help out a lot
