conversion between .Net image and picture object?

Is there a way in TC to convert directly from a .Net System.Drawing.Bitmap or Image into a Picture object?  I would like to avoid converting it a pixel at a time or using an intermediary file.

Hello Russell,


You can perform the conversion with Windows Clipboard. For example:




function Test()

{

  var image = dotNET.System_Drawing.Bitmap.zctor("C:\\image.bmp");

  image = dotNET.System_Windows_Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(

    image.GetHbitmap(),

    dotNET.System.IntPtr.Zero,

    dotNET.System_Windows.Int32Rect.Empty,

    dotNET.System_Windows_Media_Imaging.BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions()

  );

  dotNET.System_Windows.Clipboard.SetImage(image);

  var picture = Sys.Clipboard;

  Log.Picture(picture);  

}
