Question

I work in VS 2010, .Net 4.0.
In Windows forms app, this is ok:

Image img = Image.FromStream(imagePart.GetStream());

However, in Wpf app, the Image class is from System.Windows.Controls and that isn’t valid because it hasn’t got a definition for FromStream method.
In Windows forms, the Image class is System.Drawing.Image.

Is there a way I can use FromStream in Wpf app?

Answer 1

In WPF I believe you’d use a BitmapSource such as BitmapImage – and in the latter case, you can set the StreamSource property to the appropriate stream.

EDIT: BitmapSource is just one subclass of ImageSource. Use a source by creating an Image control and setting the Source property.
