SQL Server 2014 :: How To Return Bitmap Image From Custom Assembly To SSRS Report

I am using the QRCode4CS class [URL] .... to generate QR codes.

I can use the following code to successfully return a bitmap image to a picturebox in a Windows Form Application.

public class CreateQRCodeClass
{
public static Image CreateQRCodeImage(string inputString)
{
QRCode4CS.QRCode qrcode = new QRCode4CS.QRCode(new QRCode4CS.Options(inputString));
qrcode.Make();
[Code] ....

In trying to adapt the same code (below) to display a QR code in an SSRS report I get the error "There is an error on line 1 of custom code: [BC30311] Value of type 'System.Drawing.Image' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte.'

Here is the custom code I am using.

Public Function QRCode(ByVal RetailerId As String) as Byte()
Return QRCode4CSCreateQRCode.CreateQRCodeClass.CreateQRCodeImage(RetailerId)
End Function

Here is the revised custom assembly.

public class CreateQRCodeClass
{
public static byte[] CreateQRCodeImage(string inputString)
{
QRCode4CS.QRCode qrcode = new QRCode4CS.QRCode(new QRCode4CS.Options(inputString));
qrcode.Make();
Image canvas = new Bitmap(86, 86);

[Code] ....

What data type can I successfully return to SSRS to display the image?
