Re: Setting Image Source Dynamically

You can't access local resources cuz security issues.
But, you can recieve local files from user by OpenFileDialog.

here is some sample codes that load image from local by using OpenFileDialog.
Copy this code to Page UserControl and try it :)

        public Page()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(Page_Loaded);
        }

        void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
            ofd.Filter = "All Images|*.jpg;*.png|JPEG Images(*.jpg)|*.jpg|PNG Images(*.png)|*.png";
            ofd.EnableMultipleSelection = false;
            DialogResult result = ofd.ShowDialog();
            if (result == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                FileDialogFileInfo file = ofd.SelectedFile;
                BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();
                bitmap.SetSource(file.OpenRead());    // <-- load bitmap image as stream.

                Image img = new Image();
                img.Source = bitmap;
                img.Stretch = Stretch.None;
                LayoutRoot.Children.Add(img);
            }
        }

Hope it helps.
