Question

I’m trying to convert a visual to a Ximage(to print on pdf).
Currently I’m using this:

 Dim img As XImage = XImage.FromFile(path.LocalPath)

But it requires me to save it on the harddrive
I would like to use this but I don’t know how to create a image from a visual(in memory) and load it in.

 Dim img As XImage = XImage.FromGdiPlusImage(myVisualAsImage)

Answer 1

If you use the WPF build of PDFsharp, you can also use:

public static XImage FromBitmapSource(BitmapSource image)

Several classes (including BitmapImage and WriteableBitmap) are derived from BitmapSource and can also be passed here.
