Question

Here is the problem.
I want to open a file from local drives, then make it into a WritableBitmap so i can edit it.
But the problem is, i cannot create a WritableBitmap from Uri or something like that. Also i know how to open a file into BitmapImage but i cannot figure out how to open a file as WritableBitmap.
Is there way to open a file directly into a WritableBitmap,if there is not, is there a way to convert a BitmapImage to a WritableBitmap?
Thanks guys.

Answer 1

You can load your image file into a BitmapImage and use that as a source for your WriteableBitmap:

BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage(new Uri("YourImage.jpg", UriKind.Relative));
WriteableBitmap writeableBitmap = new WriteableBitmap(bitmap);
