Low level C# Bitmap Serializer. Surprisingly 5x faster than the commonly used .net BitmapData (tested on 100x100 images). Mostly for when you want finer tune control over your bitmaps than .net gives you.

ex usage (generating and displaying static):

       var rng = new Random();
        var width = 100;
        var height = 100;
        var imageData = new byte[width * height * 4];
        rng.NextBytes(imageData);
        var data = BitmapBytes.FromRGBABytes(imageData, width);
        File.WriteAllBytes("out.bmp", data);
        Process.Start("explorer.exe", @"out.bmp");
