store image in a variable in c#? Please Help me...

yes you can do like this


below code will convert image in byte array

public byte[] imageToByteArray(System.Drawing.Image imageIn)
{
 MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
 imageIn.Save(ms,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
 return  ms.ToArray();
}

and you can convert back byte array to image by below function

public Image byteArrayToImage(byte[] byteArrayIn)
{
     MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArrayIn);
     Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
     return returnImage;
}

So by converting image to byte array you can store your image in memory variable and than when you need image back you can convert byte array to image
