A Bitmap instance that has the same content as the specified source.

Usage Note

Remarks

  Note

This method adjusts the degree of parallelization automatically, blocks the caller, and does not support cancellation or reporting progress. Use the BeginToBitmap or ToBitmapAsync (in .NET Framework 4.0 and above) methods for asynchronous call and to adjust parallelization, set up cancellation and for reporting progress.

The result Bitmap will have the closest possible PixelFormat to source. If the source pixel format is not supported on the current platform, then the result will have either Format24bppRgb or Format32bppArgb format, depending whether source has transparency.

  Note

On Windows every format is supported with more or less limitations. For details and further information about the possible usable PixelFormats on different platforms see the Remarks section of the ConvertPixelFormat method.
