Assigning Image source url to a string

Question

I am creating a Windows Phone 8.0 App and I am wondering how i can Access the property of the Image url and assign it to a string

or something

I wrote

BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage();
img.UriSource = pic.Source;

But that's not correct , Error:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Windows.Media.ImageSource' to 'System.Uri'

How can I do such thing?

The BitmapImage type inherits BitmapSource and ultimately ImageSource. So this will be done by casting.

BitmapImage img = pic.Source as BitmapImage;
