[WPF] Paste an image from the clipboard (bug in Clipboard.GetImage)

Read Original

This technical article details a known bug in WPF's Clipboard.GetImage() method, which returns an InteropBitmap that often fails to display. It analyzes the issue, explores suboptimal workarounds, and presents a robust solution by manually retrieving and decoding the DeviceIndependentBitmap (DIB) data from the clipboard, including the necessary steps to reconstruct a valid bitmap file header for successful image loading.
