Hi,

Sorry if this question sound stupid, how do I actually convert a char[]
buffer into Image?

I am currently using C# and compact .net framework for PocketPC development.

Thanks for reading.

Well, a char array is an array of *characters*, which isn't usually a
natural starting place for image conversion.

What's giving you this array of chars in the first place?
 
Example; Bitmap or JPEG buffer along with header that read from elsewhere,
be it socket, file etc...

And how do I convert the particular buffer in char[] into Image?

Any idea?

Well, as Jon said, the fact that you've got an array of chars indicates
that something's gone wrong somewhere. You should be getting an array
of bytes, if anything, and remember, a byte is not the same as a char
in .NET. If might help if you indicate exactly how you're getting that
char[].

If you've got a byte[], you can do something like this:

Image i = Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(myByteArr));
