Convert Stream to IRandomAccessStream

Question

I need to convert a Stream into an IRandomAccessStream (in order to create a BitmapDecoder). I tried casting and searching for built-in methods for that in BitmapDecoder but couldn't find any.

So how do I do that?

Answer 1

There is an extension method for that:

Stream stream = GetSomeStream();
IRandomAccessStream randomAccessStream = stream.AsRandomAccessStream();

Just make sure that you have using System.IO at the top of your code file.
