How to Display Bitmap Images in Expression Blend

Hi,
I have a program that displays the images taken from the webcam as described in this article at http://irslab.blogspot.com/2010/07/webcam-using-aforgenet-part-i.html?showComment=1309837336161#comment-c7001370807997667575[^]. It uses AForge library to capture the image and since it is a Windows Form application it can simply display the image by using the following code

C#

void camera_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)eventArgs.Frame.Clone();
            //simply set the bmp as the Image in pictureBox1
            pictureBox1.Image = bmp;
        }

BUT, when it comes to Expression blend, you can't do this to the Image placeholder you find there. You can only give the url of an image as follows

imagePlaceHolder.Source =             (ImageSource(newImageSourceConverter().ConvertFromString(fileName));

How can I direct the imagePlaceHolder to my Bitmap image???

Somebody please help.....!!!!

Thanks in advance.

Not true you can give a url, and you can provide an ImageSource. For how to convert your Bitmap to a BitmapSource see Bitmap to BitmapSource[^]

Well thanks a lot for attending to solve my issue but it is not what I really wanted. But recently I found the real solution. You can simply use the PictureBox control you have in Windows.Forms.Controls in the WPF application.
It is simple as that. To know how to do that just read the Code Project article

Thanks all.
