why do you want/need to use wpf-specific things?

look at this snippet
How to convert BitmapSource to Bitmap

Bitmap BitmapFromSource(BitmapSource bitmapsource)
{
    Bitmap bitmap;
    using (MemoryStream outStream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        BitmapEncoder enc = new BmpBitmapEncoder();
        enc.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bitmapsource));
        enc.Save(outStream);
        bitmap = new Bitmap(outStream);
    }
    return bitmap;
}

Usage:

pictureBox1.Image = BitmapFromSource(yourBitmapSource);

If you want to open an image file…:

pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\\image.jpg");
