How to convert BitmapImage to StdPicture

Question

I have a BitmapImage object loaded with an icon, I need to convert that to StdPicture . How do I do that ?

I found tons of examples on how to convert System.Drawing.Image to StdPicture but nothing for System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage to StdPicture .

Do I have to first convert it to Winforms Image and then to StdPicture ? Sounds a bit silly to me.

I am assuming stdPicture you mean Bitmap.. So here we go.

private Bitmap BitmapImageToBitmap(BitmapImage bitmapImage)
{
    using (MemoryStream os = new MemoryStream())
    {
        BitmapEncoder encoder = new BmpBitmapEncoder();
        encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bitmapImage));
        encoder.Save(os);
        System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(os);

        return new Bitmap(bitmap);
    }
}
