Using Image control in WPF to display System.Drawing.Bitmap

by

According to http://khason.net/blog/how-to-use-systemdrawingbitmap-hbitmap-in-wpf/

   [DllImport("gdi32")]
   static extern int DeleteObject(IntPtr o);

   public static BitmapSource loadBitmap(System.Drawing.Bitmap source)
   {
       IntPtr ip = source.GetHbitmap();
       BitmapSource bs = null;
       try
       {
           bs = System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(ip, 
              IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, 
              System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());
       }
       finally
       {
           DeleteObject(ip);
       }

       return bs;
   }

It gets System.Drawing.Bitmap (from WindowsBased) and converts it into BitmapSource, which can be actually used as image source for your Image control in WPF.

image1.Source = YourUtilClass.loadBitmap(SomeBitmap);
