Silverlight: image to byte[]

by

(the bits per pixel method you are missing just details how the color information is stored per pixel)

As anthony suggested, a WriteableBitmap would be the easiest way – check out http://kodierer.blogspot.com/2009/11/convert-encode-and-decode-silverlight.html for a method to get an argb byte array out :

public static byte[] ToByteArray(this WriteableBitmap bmp)
{
   // Init buffer
   int w = bmp.PixelWidth;
   int h = bmp.PixelHeight;
   int[] p = bmp.Pixels;
   int len = p.Length;
   byte[] result = new byte[4 * w * h];

   // Copy pixels to buffer
   for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < len; i++, j += 4)
  {
      int color = p[i];
      result[j + 0] = (byte)(color >> 24); // A
      result[j + 1] = (byte)(color >> 16); // R
      result[j + 2] = (byte)(color >> 8);  // G
      result[j + 3] = (byte)(color);       // B
   }

    return result;
}
