Answer 1

ImageSource cannot be instantiated.

public abstract class ImageSource : Animatable, 
IFormattable

There's that little abstract in there which will screw your day up. Your xaml is actually trying to instantiate an instance of ImageSource, then assign the value within the element (your Uri, in this case) to a property marked with the ContentPropertyAttribute (??) using whatever converter that could be located to convert the string to an object (again, ??).

I think you want a BitmapSource.
