Question

I am having trouble converting an image resource into byte[].

For example, I have the following resource:

pack://application:,,,/AppName;component/Assets/Images/sampleimage.jpg

in my program. How do I convert this into a byte[].

I’ve tried using a BitMapImage, but it’s ImageSource ends up being null after initialised.

This seems to work:

var info = Application.GetResourceStream(uri);
var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
info.Stream.CopyTo(memoryStream);
return memoryStream.ToArray();
