Converting an Image into Byte Array and vice versa in C#

      

Putting a jpeg image into an Image Object (System.Drawing)

     Image m_imageIn= Image.FromFile("world.jpeg");

Converting any Image object into Byte Array:

       private byte[] ImageToByteArray(System.Drawing.Image m_imageIn)

        {

            MemoryStream oMemoryStream = new MemoryStream();

            // ImageFormat could be other formats like bmp,gif,icon,png etc.

            m_imageIn.Save(oMemoryStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); 

            return oMemoryStream.ToArray();

        }

     
Converting back Byte Array into Image object:       
 

private Image ByteArrayToImage(byte[] m_byteArrayIn)

        {

            MemoryStream oMemoryStream = new MemoryStream(m_byteArrayIn);

            Image oImage = Image.FromStream(oMemoryStream);

            return oImage;

        }
