If you are like me, you probably keep bitmaps (png files) of your WPF project in Resources. Since Resources uses System.Drawing.Bitmap for storing bitmaps, I wrote (some code modifications were done by Bojan) this little extension that will convert bitmap resource to BitmapSource.

On one project that I’m working on, I had a need to animate height (simulating Visible/Not Visible state of ‘overlay’ and edit dialogs) of FrameworkElement. So I wrote this little behavior that does just that. You can use IsVisible to control (using binding) ‘Visibility’, as well as ShowDuration and HideDuration to control duration of animation.
