I doubt you'll be able to squeeze an entire bitmap into a single byte
- did you mean a byte array?

There are many ways to do that, depending on the format you want it
in. The easiest way is probably to save the bitmap to a stream and
then read it's content. Something like

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
yourBitmap.Save( ms, ImageFormat.Bmp );
byte[] bitmapData = ms.ToArray();
