[MonoTouch] Building a UIImage from a byte[]

[Nic Wise]

What format is the data in?

I think LoadFromData expects a PNG, JPG or similar.

>From the docs:

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIImage_Class/Reference/Reference.html

"returns a new image object for the specified data, or nil if the
method could not initialize the image from the specified data."

Formats:

Table 1  Supported file formats
Format
Filename extensions
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)
.tiff, .tif
Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)
.jpg, .jpeg
Graphic Interchange Format (GIF)
.gif
Portable Network Graphic (PNG)
.png
Windows Bitmap Format (DIB)
.bmp, .BMPf
Windows Icon Format
.ico
Windows Cursor
.cur
XWindow bitmap
.xbm

You might be able to load a CGImage with ARGB values, then make a
UIImage from that...
