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 case you're still having issues or are being asked to find an app to open the link, are you trying to use a WebView? If so, try using ms-appx-web instead of ms-appx.

An example:

this.webBrowser.Navigate(new Uri("ms-appx-web:///level/level/level/index.html"));

Also note the lack of the URIKind parameter--evidently not needed at all in these instances.

(I believe you may need to vary the leading forward slashes depending on your reference)
