Thanks, I have tried this already, too and it works fine, I just
thought there
might be a more "elegant" solution; however I still wonder why the
Bitmap in
my test2() function does not appear. I looked at many suggestions that
have been made
how to create bitmaps out of strings with the BitmapImage class and
nothing seems to work.
It still looks to me like a bug.

Thanks and best regards
