Hey guys, I am trying to save my image to the local database. the image is captured by the phone camera (capture.show()). I am trying to convert images to byte array using the code below:

C#

public byte[] convertToByte(BitmapImage img)
        {
            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                WriteableBitmap btmap = new WriteableBitmap(img.PixelWidth, img.PixelHeight);
                Extensions.SaveJpeg(btmap, ms, img.PixelWidth, img.PixelHeight, 0, 100);
                ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                return ms.ToArray();
            };
        }

I cant pass the image to this method as the control that displays this picture is of type

System.Windows.Controls.Image

and the above method accepts Bitmapimage object.

How do can i modify my code?

You can modify your code as below.

C#

<pre>public byte[] convertToByte(Image imgControl)
{
  if(img.Source!=null)
  {
   BitmapImage img = img.Source as bitmapImage;
            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                WriteableBitmap btmap = new WriteableBitmap(img.PixelWidth, img.PixelHeight);
                Extensions.SaveJpeg(btmap, ms, img.PixelWidth, img.PixelHeight, 0, 100);
                ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                return ms.ToArray();
            };
   }
}
