How can I create DrawingBrush from an image (BMP/JPEG/PNG)?

Question

I need to pass DrawingBrush to a method in a third-party DLL which displays an image somewhere in the application. I can't modify this.

I need to create a DrawingBrush from an BMP Image. I tried this example but it doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.
