Question

I have a byte[] that is represented by an Image. I am downloading this Image via a WebClient. When the WebClient has downloaded the picture and I reference it using its URL, I get a byte[]. My question is, how do I load a byte[] into an Image element in WPF? Thank you.

Note: This is complementary to the question I asked here: Generate Image at Runtime. I cannot seem to get that approach to work, so I am trying a different approach.

You can use a BitmapImage, and sets its StreamSource to a stream containing the binary data. If you want to make a stream from a byte[], use a MemoryStream:

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
