The type 'ImageConverter' exists in both-CodePudding

In a Visual Studio Project this worked for a while

byte[] bytes = (byte[])new ImageConverter().ConvertTo(bitmap, typeof(byte[]));

Even for that

System.Drawing.ImageConverter imgConverter = new System.Drawing.ImageConverter();

Now Visual Studio Complains

CS0433  The type 'ImageConverter' exists in both 'System.Drawing.Common, Version=5.0.0.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' and 'System.Windows.Extensions, Version=4.0.1.0,

What is odd here is that there is no System.Drawing.Common.ImageConverter !

There is just a System.Drawing.ImageConverter and I have already added using System.Drawing at the using section

After adding

System.ServiceModel.Duplex
System.ServiceModel.Http
System.ServiceModel.NetTcp
System.ServiceModel.Security

it seems to be not related and I have tried everything which I found about CS0433 with no solution so far. Any idea what have changed ? or what else could be tweaked to make clear I want to use explicitly System.Drawing.ImageConverter in a csharp project ?

CodePudding user response：

If I understand your question correctly you just need a full qualified name like:

> byte[] bytes = (byte[])new
> System.Drawing.Common.ImageConverter().ConvertTo(bitmap,
> typeof(byte[]));

This will remove the ambiguity about which library you want to draw it from.

The issue has been solved by installing the latest Version of System.Windows.Extensions (5.0.0)

The issue has been raised and discussed with the core developers here
