Convert BitmapImage to byte[]

Hi!

In windows store apps BitmapImage does not have a StreamSource property. You can achieve what you want like this:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices.WindowsRuntime;

...

byte[] buffer = null; 

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        WriteableBitmap wb = new WriteableBitmap(imageSource);
        Stream s1 = wb.PixelBuffer.AsStream();
        s1.CopyTo(ms);

        buffer = ms.ToArray();
    }

Cheers,

Sam.
