Drawing a one-dimensional byte array as an image

I have a one-dimensional array which is a 64x64 image 8 bits. I want to display this on a Windows Form, but I dont know how to do this. Can someone provide a sample code to perform this.

byte [] image = new byte[64*64];

I have tried this:

   ImageConverter ic = new ImageConverter();
   Image img = (Image)ic.ConvertFrom(image); <--- Parameter not valid error
   Bitmap bitmap1 = new Bitmap(img);
   bitmap1.SetResolution(64, 64);

   e.Graphics.DrawImage(img, 400, 10);

But this doesn't work, and I get a Parameter not valid error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to first convert your byte array into an image: 

byte [] imageBuffer = new byte[64*64];

... populating the byte array...

Image image = null;
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(imageBuffer))
{
    image = Image.FromStream(ms);
}

In order to show it on your form, you need to add to your form a PictureBox control, amd set it's Image property:

pictureBox1.Image = image ;
