WPF Image control doesn't display ImageSource that was added/assigned programatically

Question

This method below converts an image from an image file-path to an ImageSource. Solution found here

 public static ImageSource GetImageSourceFromPath(string path)
 {
     return new BitmapImage(new Uri(path, UriKind.Relative));
 }

Here is what a path I've tested looks like

This is how the imagesource gets assigned:

Image_Control.Source = GetImageSourceFromPath(path);

The problem is that the image doesn't show in the WPF image control.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Your code will works fine with the following changes.

 public static ImageSource GetImageSourceFromPath(string path)
     {
         return new BitmapImage(new Uri(path));
     }

    Image_Control.Source = GetImageSourceFromPath(path);

If you are using full path no need to specify the UriKind ,other wise use UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute

Answer 2

public static ImageSource GetImageSourceFromPath(string path)
 {
     return new BitmapImage(new Uri(path, **UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute**));
 }
