Question

I have created a WriteableBitmap in Gray16 format. I want to resize this WriteableBitmap to my known dimention preserving the pixel format(Gray16).

Is any one worked on the Resizing the WriteableBitmap. Please help me.

I also searched the internet and found http://writeablebitmapex.codeplex.com/ but this through an assebmly reference error.

Please help me.

I have written the function which resizes the writableBitmap. I have posted the code at my blog:

hope it will be helpful.
