private static byte[] GetBitmapBytes(Bitmap Bitmap)

MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
byte[] bytes;

try {
// Save the bitmap to the MemoryStream.
Bitmap.Save(memStream, Bitmap.RawFormat);

// Create the byte array.
bytes = new byte[memStream.Length];

// Rewind.
memStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

// Read the MemoryStream to get the bitmap's bytes.
memStream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);

// Return the byte array.
return bytes;
} finally {
