Question

I have a class like this:

class person
{
    public string Name{get;set;}
    public byte[] PersonImage{get;set;}
}

When I Load my Person From DataBase I want to show PersonImage in a Image control, so I want to create BitmapImage from my byte[]:

var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();

bitmapImage.BeginInit();
var filestream = new MemoryStream(PersonImage);
bitmapImage.StreamSource = filestream;

bitmapImage.EndInit();// I have Exception in this line 

My Exception is:

No imaging component suitable to complete this operation was found.

–edite
my Inner Exception is :

Inner Exception:Exception from HRESULT:0*88982F50

Answer 1

assuming PersonImage is really a valid byte[] representing an image try

var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();

bitmapImage.BeginInit();
var somestream = new MemoryStream(PersonImage);
somestream.Position = 0; // "rewind" stream to start...
bitmapImage.StreamSource = somestream;

bitmapImage.EndInit();
