Hello everybody!I'm beginner of Silverlight.I use Silverlight 4 for my project.
I have custom class with BitmapImage property.Currently all my properties has tagged DataMember and BitmapImage tagged IgnoreDataMember. I must serialize this class, but after some hours I couldn't find nothing about serialize BitmapImage.
Can Somebody provide some example where serializing and deserializing class with BitmapImage property.
I know only that I have to convert it in byte, but how I canvert back?Please note that I'm using Silverlight 4.Thank you

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4308777/wpf-bitmapimage-serialization-deserialization[^] see comments for changes, to make. As far as I see, this solution should do for you. This is very common, but I use something like this

C#

public string ImageToBase64(Image image,
  System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat format)
{
  using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
  {
    // Convert Image to byte[]
    image.Save(ms, format);
    byte[] imageBytes = ms.ToArray();

    // Convert byte[] to Base64 String
    string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes);
    return base64String;
  }
}

public Image Base64ToImage(string base64String)
{
  // Convert Base64 String to byte[]
  byte[] imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64String);
  MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes, 0, 
    imageBytes.Length);

  // Convert byte[] to Image
  ms.Write(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);
  Image image = Image.FromStream(ms, true);
  return image;
}
