I'm trying to return an image from WCF to a web application, and kept received this error message: The content type image/jpeg of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly.

The web application page calls the WCF to return an image:
C#
srQRCode.QRCodeClient qrCode = new srQRCode.QRCodeClient();
Stream image = qrCode.GetImage();

WCF qrCode.cs
C#
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET")]
Stream GetImage();

qrCode.svc.cs
C#
public Stream GetImage()
       {
           int width = 300;
           int height = 300;
           Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(width, height);
           for (int i = 0; i < bitmap.Width; i++)
           {
               for (int j = 0; j < bitmap.Height; j++)
               {
                   bitmap.SetPixel(i, j, (Math.Abs(i - j) < 2) ? Color.Blue : Color.Yellow);
               }
           }
           MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();


           bitmap.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
           ms.Position = 0;
           WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingRequest.Headers.Add("Slug", "title");
           WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingRequest.Method = "GET";
           WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "image/jpeg";

           return ms;
       }

I checked the error message but could not find the solution for the problem.
why not you using image handler class (.ashx file)
