WP7 Support TIFF images

I'm trying to display Tiff Images that I have a byte array for. I have come to the conclusion that WP7 does not support images which are TIFF, because setting the stream in the way I have done for PN开发者_如何学JAVAG and JPG does not work (Throws an exception like: "Network resource is invalid").

Has anyone seen any evidence that TIFF is not supported in writing from Microsoft? I need to provide solid information to a client.

Neither the web-based Silverlight, or WP7 support TIFF images. However, there is a .NET library that others have fond relatively easy to port to Silverlight:

How do I display tiff files on Silverlight?

In the Interoperability Bridges articles you can find this quote:

Windows Phone 7 applications built using Silverlight handle images in JPEG or PNG format.

You can find this under Other Issues in the Differences in iPhone and WP7 Image Resolutions section in this article: http://windowsphone.interoperabilitybridges.com/articles/chapter-5-image-format-considerations-in-migration-of-iphone-applications-to-windows-phone-7

If that isn't official enough you can also find this quote:

Silverlight for Windows Phone doesn't support all image formats. The BitmapImage class can be used to reference images in the JPEG and PNG file formats. For more information about the types of image sources and formats that can be used for an Image, see BitmapImage.
