Twain and Stream questions

[Jeff Lindholm]

I have a project that is capturing pictures from my web cam. I can save the
image to a file and
load it back from the file into my image control no problem.
But I would like to either load it into the image control directly, or
into/out of a stream.

Given the GdipSaveImageTo Stream definition how do I create a parameter for
the stream parameter,
that gets me a usable stream when it is all done?

Or given the following code, any ideas on how to load the bitmap directly
from the twain source?
I have included the working code that saves/reads using a file, the function
definition and the
code that returns a pointer to the pixels of the bitmap.

Any help here would be appreciated.

(Code based on code I found on CodeProject)
[DllImport("gdip lus.dll", ExactSpelling=t rue, CharSet=CharSet .Unicode)]
internal static extern int GdipSaveImageTo Stream(IntPtr image, IntPtr
stream, [In] ref Guid Encoder, IntPtr encoderParams);

private void UseFile()
{
ArrayList pics = _source.Transfe rPictures();
EndingScan();
_source.CloseSr c();

IntPtr image = (IntPtr) pics[ 0 ];
IntPtr pBmp = GlobalLock(imag e) ;
IntPtr pixelData = GetPixelLocatio n(pBmp) ;

int st = GdipCreateBitma pFromGdiDib(pBm p, pixelData, ref image) ;

Guid clsid;
// Save to file and load from file
string fileName = String.Format(" C:\\temp\\FileN ame{0}.JPG", _picNo++);
if (!GdiPlus.GetCo decClsid(fileNa me, out clsid))
{
return;
}

if (File.Exists(fi leName)== true)
{
File.Delete(fil eName) ;
}

st = GdipSaveImageTo File(image, fileName, ref clsid, IntPtr.Zero);
_picture.Image = Image.FromFile( fileName);

GlobalFree(pBmp ) ;

}
protected IntPtr GetPixelLocatio n( IntPtr bmp )
{
BITMAPINFOHEADE R bitmapHeader = new BITMAPINFOHEADE R();
Marshal.PtrToSt ructure( bmp, bitmapHeader );

if( bitmapHeader.bi SizeImage == 0 )
{
bitmapHeader.bi SizeImage = ((((bitmapHeade r.biWidth *
bitmapHeader.bi BitCount) + 31) & ~31) >> 3) * bitmapHeader.bi Height;
}

int pixel = bitmapHeader.bi ClrUsed;
if( (pixel == 0) && (bitmapHeader.b iBitCount <= 8) )
{
pixel = 1 << bitmapHeader.bi BitCount;
}
pixel= (pixel * 4) + bitmapHeader.bi Size + (int) bmp;
return (IntPtr) pixel;
}
