Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program

Answer 1

You don't need to use the WriteableBitmap constructor that takes an UIElement parameter, because you already have the WriteableBitmap within the Image control.

Just cast the Source property of the Image control as WriteableBitmap:

WriteableBitmap wb = Imagecontrol.Source as WriteableBitmap;

Maybe that will avoid the Out of memory Exception.
