How to convert a Memory stream to a Bitmap

Question

I use the code snipet below to create an image with bytes from server, it worked in Silverlight and WP7. But, how to do the same work in Windows 8? Any advice and suggestion will be appreciated. BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage(); var stream = new MemoryStream(response.ByteData); stream.Write(response.ByteData, 0, response.ByteData.Length); image.SetSource(stream);

I think you don't need to read/write the stream, here's a snippet that reads a stream from a file:

async internal void DoOpenFile(IReadOnlyList<Windows.Storage.IStorageItem> files)
      {
         StorageFile file = files[0] as StorageFile;
         IRandomAccessStream readStream = await file.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read);         
         BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage();
         img.SetSource(readStream);
         detailImage.Source = img;
        }
