Can I pass an Image from a c++ component to C#?

Question

I just learned c++ last week (Why I didn't need it for 28 years until now I don't know).

So can I pass an Image from my c++/CX/DirectX component class to C# managed code?

Hi,

You can pass a BitmapImage class, this class can be accessed both in C++ and C#.

Thanks, can I convert an IStream into a BitmapImage?

Answer 3

First, you should convert Istream to randomAccessStream, and then call BitmapSource.SetSource function to set it.

I have actually been trying to figure out how to do this for a few days and can't find any information on it.  How do I do this?

Answer 5

Thanks for the help! 
But I realized that I should just send a IRandomAccessStream to the c++ component and that the IStream created by CreateStreamOverRandomAccessStream changes the original IRandomAccessStream.
