Answer 1

if you image source is in the project you can use this..

var uri = new Uri("/ReferencedAssembly;component/default.png", UriKind.Relative);
var streamInfo = System.Windows.Application.GetResourceStream(uri);
var stream = streamInfo.Stream; 

convert the stream to bytes array..

if image is one some other location
