How to get Image Pixel Position and RGB values using Wpf, MVVM?

Question

I am able to load Image and get pixel position on mousemove, Now I want to display RGB value of each pixel. Can any one help me

MainWindowViewModel.cs

namespace WpfAppTest.ViewModel { class MainViewModel: ViewModelBase { private BitmapImage _image; public BitmapImage Image { get { return _image; } set { _image = value; OnPropertyChanged("Image"); } } public MainViewModel() { _image = new BitmapImage(); _textBox = new TextBox(); }

    private RelayCommand _loadImageCommand;
    public ICommand LoadImageCommand
    {
        get
        {
            if (_loadImageCommand == null)
            {
                _loadImageCommand = new RelayCommand(param => LoadImage());
            }
            return _loadImageCommand;
        }
    }
    private void LoadImage()
    {
        OpenFileDialog op = new OpenFileDialog();
        op.Title = "Select a Picture";
        op.Filter = "Images (*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF;*.PNG;*.TIFF)|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF;*.PNG;*.TIFF|" + "All files (*.*)|*.*";
        op.Multiselect = true;
        if (op.ShowDialog() == true)
        {
            Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri(op.FileName));
        }
    }

    private RelayCommand _mouseMoveCommand;
    public RelayCommand MouseMoveCommand
    {
        get
        {
            if (_mouseMoveCommand == null) return _mouseMoveCommand = new RelayCommand(param => ExecuteMouseMove((MouseEventArgs)param));
            return _mouseMoveCommand;
        }
        set { _mouseMoveCommand = value; }
    }

    private void ExecuteMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)
    {   
        System.Windows.Point p = e.GetPosition(((IInputElement)e.Source));
        TextBox.Text = String.Format("X: {0} Y:{1}", (int)p.X, (int)p.Y);
    }

    private TextBox _textBox;
    public TextBox TextBox
    {
        get { return _textBox; }
        set
        {
            _textBox = value;
            OnPropertyChanged("TextBox");
        }
    }
}

}

Here in :
private void ExecuteMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)
        {   
            System.Windows.Point p = e.GetPosition(((IInputElement)e.Source));
            TextBox.Text = String.Format("X: {0} Y:{1}", (int)p.X, (int)p.Y);
        }
I am able to get pixel position, now i want rgb value of pixels

MouseBehaviour:

public class MouseBehaviour
    {
 public static readonly DependencyProperty MouseMoveCommandProperty =
            DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("MouseMoveCommand", typeof(ICommand), typeof(MouseBehaviour), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(new PropertyChangedCallback(MouseMoveCommandChanged)));

        private static void MouseMoveCommandChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            FrameworkElement element = (FrameworkElement)d;

            element.MouseMove += new MouseEventHandler(element_MouseMove);
        }

        static void element_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            FrameworkElement element = (FrameworkElement)sender;

            ICommand command = GetMouseMoveCommand(element);

            command.Execute(e);
        }

        public static void SetMouseMoveCommand(UIElement element, ICommand value)
        {
            element.SetValue(MouseMoveCommandProperty, value);
        }

        public static ICommand GetMouseMoveCommand(UIElement element)
        {
            return (ICommand)element.GetValue(MouseMoveCommandProperty);
        }
}

I found the solution and its working

ViewModel:

class MainViewModel: ViewModelBase
{
    private Bitmap Img;
    public ICommand OpenImg { get; set; }
    public MainViewModel()
    {
        OpenImg = new RelayCommand(openImg, (obj) => true);
    }
    private void openImg(object obj = null)
    {
        OpenFileDialog op = new OpenFileDialog();
        op.Title = "Select a picture";
        op.Filter = "All supported graphics|*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.bmp;*.tiff|" +
          "JPEG (*.jpg;*.jpeg)|*.jpg;*.jpeg|" +
          "Portable Network Graphic (*.png)|*.png";
        if (op.ShowDialog() == true)
        {
            ImgPath = op.FileName;
            Img = new Bitmap(ImgPath);
        }
    }

    private string _ImgPath;
    public string ImgPath
    {
        get { return _ImgPath; }
        set
        {
            _ImgPath = value;
            OnPropertyChanged("ImgPath");
        }
    }

    private ICommand _mouseMoveCommand;
    public ICommand MouseMoveCommand
    {
        get
        {
            if (_mouseMoveCommand == null)

                _mouseMoveCommand = new RelayCommand(param => ExecuteMouseMove((MouseEventArgs)param));

    }
    private void ExecuteMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        System.Windows.Point p = e.GetPosition(((IInputElement)e.Source));

        if ((p.X >= 0) && (p.X < Img.Width) && (p.Y >= 0) && (p.Y < Img.Height))

        }
    }
    private string xy;

        }
        set { _mouseLeaveCommand = value; }
