Programmatically set the Source of an Image (XAML)

Question

I am working on a Windows 8 app. I need to know how to programmatically set the Source of an Image. I assumed that the Silverlight approach would work. However, it doesn\'t.

Answer 1

I just tried

Image.Source = new BitmapImage(
    new Uri("http://yourdomain.com/image.jpg", UriKind.Absolute));

And it works without problems... I'm using System.Uri here. Maybe you have a malformed URI or you have to use an absolute URI and use UriKind.Absolute instead?
