byte array to WriteableBitmap image IValueConverter for WP7

Question

I have been tackling this problem for some time. I get the image from my DB as a byte[] and i want to convert it to WritableBitmap so i can use binding to show it on my xaml

Answer 1

Thanks for your answer

It seems that the problem was that the stream coming from the db was corrupted somehow. the value converter was actually okay. i have changed it to use PictureDecoder.DecodeJpeg() instead so it will be more clean and dynamic

public class ImageConverter : IValueConverter
{
/// 

/// Converts a Jpeg byte array into a WriteableBitmap
/// 
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
    if (value is byte[])
    {
        MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream((Byte[])value);
        WriteableBitmap bmp = PictureDecoder.DecodeJpeg(stream);
        return bmp;
    }
    else
        return null;
}
/// 

/// Converts a WriteableBitmap into a Jpeg byte array.
/// 
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
    throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
