尝试在背后的代码中修改Image.Source时发生未知错误

Question

I'm actually developing a Windows 8 C#/XAML app for the Windows Store. In this app, I want to show images depending on what the user selected just before. So, in the code behind, I try to modify the myImage.Source parameter. I do it like this :

myImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/folder/imagename.png", UriKind.Relative));

This used to work in WPF applications for Windows 7, but there, in Windows 8, I got an error:

System.Uri cannot be converted to Windows.Foundation.Uri. Consult http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=215849 to obtain details.

Of course, the link is useless, and I found nothing by searching the Internet. I'm kinda lost with this. So i'm here to ask for help.

Thanks in advance!

The Image.Source property is of type ImageSource . Therefore, try the following example:

myImage.Source = "/YourApplicationName;component/folder/imagename.png";

Or this one:

BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();
image.BeginInit();
image.UriSource = new Uri(
    "pack://application:,,,/YourApplicationName;component/folder/imagename.png");
image.EndInit();
myImage.Source = image;
