MVVM ;)

    public static ImageSource SetImageSource(string uriPath)//.com/image or some path
    {
        // this method very good for mvvm ;)
        try
        {   
            //In Model - public ImageSource AccountPhoto { get; set; } 
            //AccountPhoto = SetImageSource("some path");
            return return new BitmapImage()
            {
                CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.IgnoreImageCache,
                UriSource = new Uri(uriPath)
            };
        }
        catch
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("Bad uri, set default image.");
            return return new BitmapImage()
            {
                CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.IgnoreImageCache,
                UriSource = new Uri("ms-appx:///Avatar/Account Icon.png")
            };
        }
    }
