Windows Phone 8.1 get image from base64 string

How can i get an Image from a base64 string on Windows Phone 8.1? I know how to decode the image if that helps?

var imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64StringWithImageData);
var ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);

var decoder = await BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(BitmapDecoder.PngDecoderId, ms.AsRandomAccessStream());

But nowhere have i found how i can get a Image from any of that.

All of the solutions i have found are for wfp or pre win phone 8.1. I need this to work in a windows store app. If possible i don't want to save the image to disk first and then load it.

Background: I get Images (customer signatures) from the server in custom objects where images are stored as base64 encoded strings. So the images aren't stores on a website or on disk.

Update The answer that was suggested doesn't work for me :( I changed it a little to get it to compile. The code below is from the suggested answer.

var imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(_orderEntity.Signature);
using (var ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length))
{
   ms.Write(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);
   var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();
   await bitmapImage.SetSourceAsync(ms.AsRandomAccessStream());
   signatureImage.Source = bitmapImage;
 }

But that code throws a "The component cannot be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x88982F50)" Google sais that means that the image format is unknown :(

This is (one of) the strings i use as input:

I can decompile that string just fine in both a windows Form app:

public static Image Base64ToImage(string base64String)
    {
        // Convert Base64 String to byte[]
        var imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64String);
        var ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes, 0,
          imageBytes.Length);

        // Convert byte[] to Image
        ms.Write(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);
        var image = Image.FromStream(ms, true);
        return image;
    }

and a wpf app:

public static Image Base64ToImage(string base64String)
    {
        try
        {
            byte[] binaryData = Convert.FromBase64String(base64String);

            BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();
            bi.BeginInit();
            bi.StreamSource = new MemoryStream(binaryData);
            bi.EndInit();

            Image img = new Image();
            img.Source = bi;
            return img;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(e.ToString());
        }
        return new Image();
    }

So why cant i get it to work on Windows Phone??

I found a solution that works!

var imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64String);
using (InMemoryRandomAccessStream ms = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream())
{
    using (DataWriter writer = new DataWriter(ms.GetOutputStreamAt(0)))
    {
        writer.WriteBytes((byte[])imageBytes);
        writer.StoreAsync().GetResults();
    }

    var image = new BitmapImage();
    image.SetSource(ms);
}

Found the solution here: Load, show, convert image from byte array (database) in Windows Phone 8.1 and there is a the solution here: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/804423/Conversion-between-File-Byte-Stream-BitmapImage-an
