imagesource

I know very similar questions were asked here in the past - but neither had a solution for my problem: I load a image from memory into a BitmapImage: private static BitmapImage LoadImage(byte[] imageData) { if (imageData == null || imageData.Length == 0) return null; var image = new BitmapImage(); using (var mem = new MemoryStream(imageData)) { mem.Position = 0; image.BeginInit(); image.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat; image.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad; image.UriSource = null; image.StreamSource = mem; image.EndInit(); } image.Freeze(); return image; } And

I use StreamResourceInfo.Stream to get BitmapImage s from resources. Is it correct to Close and Dispose the stream after using it? I ask because in memory profiler, I get an error if I do so.

In this post, the responding person says, that it is meaninfull to dispose. However if I look at the circumstances and on the effect, I don't think that this is right. Does someone know what is the right action? Additional information: In the msdn examples I have seen, they don't
