UWP - Image Uri in Application Folder

Question

I\'m having a little issue here in showing images.

So when I\'m trying to load images from XAML, I can use a relative uri to the image source like this :

<

To access files stored inside the application package, but from code where there is no inferred root authority, you need to specify the ms-appx: scheme :

So in your case it will be something like :

BitmapImage bitmapImage = 
                     new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///[project-name]/Assets/image.jpg"));

Read this documentation for more details : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh965322.aspx

Hope it helps.
