WPF: “Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Media.ImageSource'.”

Question

I\'m trying to set a WPF Image\'s source.

XAML works:

<         


        

Answer 1

WPF uses an implicit type converter to convert the xaml string to the expected type. In code you are statically bound by the object type... If you look at the example here it shows how to set the source property to a BitmapImage that is generated from a local uri programatically.
