Vista - Convert BitmapImage to Bitmap?

How I can convert from System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(Avalon
bitmap) to System.Drawing.Bitmap (.net Bitmap)?

Just curious, why are you trying to do that? Perhaps there are WPF classes that can do what you're looking for?

In any case, WPF doe not have a way to natively convert BitmapSources to Bitmaps. You need to manually do this by calling CopyPixels, and creating a Bitmap with the image bits.

How I can convert from System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(Avalon
bitmap) to System.Drawing.Bitmap (.net Bitmap)?

several reasons

1.relatively large library of very specific image transformations,
implemented on Bitmap
2.Hard deadline
3.cherish hopes for some backward compatibilty )

ImageSource to Bitmap

MemoryStream mse = newMemoryStream();
System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BmpBitmapEncoder e = newBmpBitmapEncoder();
e.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(imageSource_bitmapSource));
e.Save(mse);

WIC Rocks!
