Answer 1

I was able to solve my problem using the code below. msg.ThumbnailSource contains System.Windows.Interop.InteropBitmap type of object

BitmapSource bmpSource = msg.ThumbnailSource as BitmapSource;
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
BitmapEncoder encoder = new PngBitmapEncoder();
encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bmpSource));
encoder.Save(ms);
ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);


System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(ms);

You could take the pixels using CopyPixels and use the code from the Bitmap.Lock/Unlock documentation to pass the pixels to the Bitmap.
