I’m trying to display Tiff Images that I have a byte array for. I have come to the conclusion that WP7 does not support images which are TIFF, because setting the stream in the way I have done for PNG and JPG does not work (Throws an exception like: “Network resource is invalid“).

Has anyone seen any evidence that TIFF is not supported in writing from Microsoft? I need to provide solid information to a client.

    In the Interoperability Bridges articles you can find this quote:

    Windows Phone 7 applications built
    using Silverlight handle images in
    JPEG or PNG format.

    You can find this under Other Issues in the Differences in iPhone and WP7 Image Resolutions section in this article: http://windowsphone.interoperabilitybridges.com/articles/chapter-5-image-format-considerations-in-migration-of-iphone-applications-to-windows-phone-7

    If that isn’t official enough you can also find this quote:

    Silverlight for Windows Phone doesn’t
    support all image formats. The
    BitmapImage class can be used to
    reference images in the JPEG and PNG
    file formats. For more information
    about the types of image sources and
    formats that can be used for an Image,
    see BitmapImage.

    From the AppHub in their article about using images in WP7: http://create.msdn.com/en-US/education/quickstarts/Images
