HRESULT: 0x8004C00F while using Nokia Imaging sdk

Question

Here is how the Code looks.

void ApplyFilter()
{
    this.filterOperationInProgress = true;
    WriteableBitmap wBmp = new WriteableBitmap(0, 0);
    wBmp = LocalWriteableBitmap.Clone();
    NokiaFilters nf = new NokiaFilters(wBmp, FilterName.Mango);
    wBmp = nf.render().Result;
    this.filterOperationInProgress = false;
}

NokiaFilter Class :

class NokiaFilters
{
    WriteableBitmap wb;
    FilterName filtername = FilterName.NoFilter;
    public NokiaFilters(WriteableBitmap wbm1, FilterName filtername1)
    {
        wb = wbm1;
        filtername = filtername1;
    }

    public async Task<WriteableBitmap> render()
    {
        MemoryStream memstream = new MemoryStream(wb.ToByteArray());
        if (memstream == null)
            return wb;
        //Mango
        else if (filtername == FilterName.Mango)
        {
            memstream.Position = 0;
            // Create a source to read the image from PhotoResult stream
            using (var source = new StreamImageSource(memstream))
            {
                // Create effect collection with the source stream
                using (var filters = new FilterEffect(source))
                {
                    // Initialize the filter 
                    ContrastFilter contrastfilter = new ContrastFilter(0.16);
                    HueSaturationFilter saturationfilter = new HueSaturationFilter(-0.01, -0.53);

                    LomoFilter lomofilter = new LomoFilter(0.5, 0.5, LomoVignetting.Low, LomoStyle.Yellow);
                    // Add the filter to the FilterEffect collection
                    filters.Filters = new List<IFilter> { contrastfilter, saturationfilter, lomofilter };

                   // Create a target where the filtered image will be rendered to
                   var target = new WriteableBitmap((int)wb.PixelWidth, (int)wb.PixelHeight);

                   // Create a new renderer which outputs WriteableBitmaps
                   using (var renderer = new WriteableBitmapRenderer( filters,target))
                   {
                       // Render the image with the filter(s)
                       try
                       {
                           target  = await renderer.RenderAsync().AsTask().ConfigureAwait(false);                                                            
                       }
                       catch (System.InvalidOperationException inv)
                       { }
                       catch { }

                       // Set the output image to Image control as a source
                       return target;
                   }
               }
           }
       }

       return wb;
   }
}

My UI completely stucks and even the back button not responding. When i stop the debugger, the code is pointed at

wBmp = nf.render().Result;

The statement that started executing just before this happens is

target  = await renderer.RenderAsync().AsTask().ConfigureAwait(false);

I am new to parallel programming. I have searched a lot and found that deadlock is very common in such scenario. I believe this is also a Deadlock situation. How can i resolve this?

Update:

After replacing

wBmp = nf.render().Result;

with

wBmp = await nf.render().ConfigureAwait(false);

i am getting HRESULT: 0x8004C00F error in catch {} after

target  = await renderer.RenderAsync().AsTask().ConfigureAwait(false);

Here is the stacktrace:

Answer 1

Solved it.

replaced

MemoryStream memstream = new MemoryStream(wb.ToByteArray());

with

MemoryStream memstream = new MemoryStream(); wb.SaveJpeg(memstream, wb.PixelWidth, wb.PixelHeight, 0, 100);
