I have WCF and it has a method that returns System.Drawing.Bitmap type. But when I add a reference to my core app, I see a reference of dvc.Bitmap, but not System.Drawing. I need to do this type of operation, but while my data is not System.Drawing datatype, I can't do that.
private string GetBitmapAsString(Bitmap documentBarcodeImage)
{
if (documentBarcodeImage == null)
return null;
var ms = new MemoryStream();
documentBarcodeImage.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
var byteImage = ms.ToArray();
return Convert.ToBase64String(byteImage);
}
Converting does not work also. If I change the datatype in the service reference manually it works, but I don't won't this type of workaround, because any service update would break everything again
Generated reference code in .net
[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute()]
public System.Drawing.Bitmap documentBarcodeImage {
get {
return this.documentBarcodeImageField;
}
set {
if ((object.ReferenceEquals(this.documentBarcodeImageField, value) != true)) {
this.documentBarcodeImageField = value;
this.RaisePropertyChanged("documentBarcodeImage");
}
}
}
generated in core:
[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute()]
public dvc.Bitmap documentBarcodeImage
{
get
{
return this.documentBarcodeImageField;
}
set
{
this.documentBarcodeImageField = value;
}
}
Maybe someone has a solution for this problem?
