Add bi.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad directly after your .BeginInit(): BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage(); bi.BeginInit(); bi.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad; … Without this, BitmapImage uses lazy initialization by default and stream will be closed by then. In first example you try to read image from possibly garbage-collected closed or even disposed MemoryStream. Second example uses file, which is … Read more
This sample shows how to read and write a string to a MemoryStream. Imports System.IO Module Module1 Sub Main() ‘ We don’t need to dispose any of the MemoryStream ‘ because it is a managed object. However, just for ‘ good practice, we’ll close the MemoryStream. Using ms As New MemoryStream Dim sw As New … Read more

It will stop your stream from being viable for Read/Write calls after the call, which may or may not be useful to you. If you’re absolutely sure that you never want to … Read more
Here is the sample code. System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(); System.IO.StreamWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(ms); writer.Write(“Hello its my sample file”); writer.Flush(); writer.Dispose(); ms.Position = 0; System.Net.Mime.ContentType ct = new System.Net.Mime.ContentType(System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Text.Plain); System.Net.Mail.Attachment attach = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(ms, ct); attach.ContentDisposition.FileName = “myFile.txt”; // I guess you know how to send email with an attachment // after sending email … Read more
You may use MemoryStream.WriteTo or Stream.CopyTo (supported in framework version 4.5.2, 4.5.1, 4.5, 4) methods to write content of memory stream to another stream. memoryStream.WriteTo(fileStream); Update: fileStream.CopyTo(memoryStream); memoryStream.CopyTo(fileStream);
