How to save an image to the clipboard only knowing the images path

Question

Say if I have an image path C:\MyImages\MyImage.jpg how would I get this onto the clipboard using C#.

I know I would use the class System.Windows.Clipboard.SetImage(); but this takes a BitmapSource as the parameter. How would I get a BitmapSource object to feed into this method from the given path?

Answer 1

BitmapSource bitmapSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("C:\\MyImages\\MyImage.jpg"));
System.Windows.Clipboard.SetImage(bitmapSource);
