Image is a base abstract class representing images in GDI+. Bitmap is a concrete implementation of this base class.
BitmapImage is a way to represent an image in a vector based GUI engine like WPF and Silverlight. Contrary to a
Bitmap, it is not based on GDI+. It is based on the Windows Imaging Component.There are ways to load a
BitmapImagefrom aBitmap.
