Convert ColorConvertedBitmap to byte array in C#

Question

I need to get the byte array from my ColorConvertedBitmap representing the bitmap. I was trying to use CopyPixels method but with no success.

How to complete this task and what is the best approach?

Thank you in advance for the replies and hints!

Answer 1

public static byte[] BitmapToBytes(ColorConvertedBitmap ccb)
{
    byte[] bytes = new byte[ccb.PixelWidth * ccb.PixelHeight * ccb.Format.BitsPerPixel / 8];
    ccb.CopyPixels(bytes, ccb.PixelWidth * ccb.Format.BitsPerPixel / 8, 0);
    return bytes;
}
