Create bitmap from Inkcanvas Strokes

[bflosabre91]

I'm trying to create a bitmap out of the strokes in an inkcanvas but i keep getting an error. I'm not sure why. Ill post the code and what line i keep getting the error at. The error is System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid.
at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(Stream stream)
at MeasureTest.Window1.Analyze() in ...\Window1.xaml.vb:line 109
I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

          Dim ms As New MemoryStream 
            ink1.Strokes.Save(ms) 
            Dim bits As Byte() = ms.ToArray 
            Dim memorybits As New MemoryStream(bits) 
            Dim bitmap As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(memorybits) 'Error Here **********
            Dim bit As BitmapSource = Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(bitmap.GetHbitmap, IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, _ 
                                                            BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions()) 
            Dim Testimage As New Image 
            Testimage.Source = CType(bit, ImageSource)
