Synchronously download an image from URL

Question

I just want to get a BitmapImage from a internet URL, but my function doesn\'t seem to work properly, it only return me a small part of the image. I know WebResponse is work

Answer 1

The simpliest is

Uri pictureUri = new Uri(pictureUrl);
BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage(pictureUri);

you can then change BitmapCacheOption to start the retrieval process. However, image is retrieved in async. But you shouldn't care much
