The given System.Uri cannot be converted into a Windows.Foundation.Uri

Question

I\'m trying to programmatically load a BitmapImage in a XAML Metro app. Here\'s my code:

var uri = new Uri(\"/Images/800x600/BackgroundTile.bmp\", UriKind.Re         


        

Answer 1

In the Consumer Preview, the correct URL format has apparently changed to ms-appx:/Images/800x600/BackgroundTile.bmp
