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.

Hi Andrew,



The conversion was discussed on Stack Overflow. Here is the working solution:





 function Test()

 { 

   var bitmap_source = dotNET.System_Windows.Clipboard.GetImage();

   var mstream = dotNET.System_IO.MemoryStream.zctor();

   var encoder = dotNET.System_Windows_Media_Imaging.BmpBitmapEncoder.zctor();

   encoder.Frames.Add(

     dotNET.System_Windows_Media_Imaging.BitmapFrame.Create_5(bitmap_source)

     );

   encoder.Save(mstream);

  

   var image_bitmap = dotNET.System_Drawing.Bitmap.zctor_4(mstream);

   var image_graphics = dotNET.System_Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(image_bitmap);

 }
