How to use System.Drawing.Bitmap (HBitmap) in WPF

Actually, the question is: “How to use nice feature of Resource code generation, presented in VS2005 within WPF”. Well, that’s not really efficient way, but whatever. As you, probably, know in WinForms (.NET2.0) and Visual Studio 2005 there is code generator for system resources. It makes us able to have intellisense support of VS development environment for loading resources from the application.

Actually, the code generator creates a butch of static properties, that gets objects from application ResourceManager. If you’ll take a look into Reesources.Designer.cs file, you’ll find there internal static readonly properties like this

internal static System.Drawing.Bitmap p1060981 {
            get {
                object obj = ResourceManager.GetObject("p1060981", resourceCulture);
                return ((System.Drawing.Bitmap)(obj));
            }
        }

 

How to get this and load my images (or any other resources) and use then in WPF this way?

image.Source = ResourceHelper1.Properties.Resources.p1060981;

 

Well, you can not and the main reason is, that it returns System.Drawing.Bitmap, which actually, HBitmap and can not be used directly as image source for WPF. But if you really want try this small helper

public static BitmapSource loadBitmap(System.Drawing.Bitmap source)
        { 
            return System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(source.GetHbitmap(),IntPtr.Zero,Int32Rect.Empty,
                System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());
        }

 

It gets System.Drawing.Bitmap (from WindowsBased) and converts it into BitmapSource, which can be actually used as image source for your Image control in WPF.

This is not very efficient way. It’s much better to use Resources management of WPF as described here, but in some cases (this one is not reason :) ) you have to use Forms ResourceManager. One of them, is if you need pixel level access to your bitmap.

    Why not make them extension methods…

    public static BitmapSource ToBitmapSource(this System.Drawing.Bitmap source)

    Sometimes (when you need to re-create some bitmaps or change them) it will crash the memory.. This is a small dix for your sollution..

    getHBitmap will allocate memory by total image size.. And each call will allocate again.. So if you delete old hBitmap after creating BitmapSource, I think, the RAM will feel better :)

           [DllImport("gdi32")]

           static extern int DeleteObject(IntPtr o);

           public static BitmapSource loadBitmap(System.Drawing.Bitmap source)

           {

               IntPtr ip = source.GetHbitmap();

               BitmapSource bs = System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(ip, IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty,

                   System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());

               DeleteObject(ip);

               return bs;

           }

    thanks..

    What Tolgahan said: if using this approach you want to make sure to release the handle to the bitmap via DeleteObject. Alternatively, and possibly better although not neccessarily as simple, one could avoid interoperability methods and use BmpBitmapDecoder instead. An example as how that can be done can be found at CodeProject: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/BitmapToBitmapSource.aspx

    Thanks , I’ve recently been searching for info about this topic for a long time and yours is the best I have came upon so far. However, what concerning the conclusion? Are you positive about the source?|What i do not realize is in fact how you are not really much more smartly-appreciated than you might be right now. You are so intelligent.
