It is possible to do without using unsafe code by using Bitmap.LockBits
and copy the pixels from the BitmapSource
straight to the Bitmap
Bitmap GetBitmap(BitmapSource source) {
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(
source.PixelWidth,
source.PixelHeight,
PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb);
BitmapData data = bmp.LockBits(
new Rectangle(Point.Empty, bmp.Size),
ImageLockMode.WriteOnly,
PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb);
source.CopyPixels(
Int32Rect.Empty,
data.Scan0,
data.Height * data.Stride,
data.Stride);
bmp.UnlockBits(data);
return bmp;
}
