C# convert image data to bytes array

Question

I have a image with src = "data:image/png;base64....".

I want to convert this image into byte array byte[].

I have tried something like this:

string[] Base64 = ImageData.Split(new char[] { ',' });

byte[] imageBytes = System.Convert.FromBase64String(Base64[1].ToString());

What am I doing wrong here?

C# 8 version, without using Regex or MemoryStream:

var base64Image = "data:image/png;base64,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";

var offset = base64Image.IndexOf(',') + 1;

var imageInBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64Image[offset..^0]);
