How to load Bitmap image to Image object in WPF

I am doing an application (which I am converting Windows forms 2.0 application into WPF application for rich look) in WPF and I am need of the load the Image from an instance of a System.Drawing.Bitmap. Initially I was struggled to do this. After a few minutes of search in goggle, I found the following solution. With help of Imaging class, we can create a BitmapSource and assign the BitmapSource value to the Image. The following code will help you to do this.

public static BitmapSource ToBitmapSource(this System.Drawing.Bitmap source)     {         BitmapSource bitmapSrc = null;         var hBitmap = source.GetHbitmap();         try         {             bitmapSrc = System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(                 hBitmap,                 IntPtr.Zero,                 Int32Rect.Empty,                 BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());         }         catch (Win32Exception)         {             bitmapSrc = null;         }           finally         {             NativeMethods.DeleteObject(hBitmap);         }         return bitmapSrc;     }     internal static class NativeMethods     {         [DllImport("gdi32.dll")]         [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]         internal static extern bool DeleteObject(IntPtr hObject);     }
