I am dynamically generating an image through code-behind in Silverlight and apparently the image source doesn't accept a string or Uri as a path.
How can I set the source?

This took me a little while to figure out too. Guantam's answer looks like what I used.BenMaddox– BenMaddox2009-02-23 17:56:12 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2009 at 17:56

I had to change it a bit though, it worked without including the namespace in the pathDrahcir– Drahcir2009-02-23 18:41:03 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2009 at 18:41

How do you mean it won't accept a string as source?
Are you not able to do this?
Or are you saying your image is in memory and you don't know how to reference it?
this.MyImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/MyNameSpace;images/someimage.png", UriKind.Relative));

// create a new image
Image image = new Image();
// better to keep this in a global config singleton
string hostName = Application.Current.Host.Source.Host;
if (Application.Current.Host.Source.Port != 80)
hostName += ":" + Application.Current.Host.Source.Port;
// set the image source
image.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("http://" + hostName + "/image111.jpg", UriKind.Absolute));

no need to go for HTTP protocol. just use local resource is fine.
I needed to replace the following to get the solution work:
this.MyImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/MyNameSpace;components/images/someimage.png", UriKind.Relative));
MyNameSpace did not work for me, but the ExecutingAssemblyName did, so:
Dim tmp As String() = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.FullName.Split(","c)
Dim path As String = "/" & tmp(0) & ";component/images/"
MyImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(path & "someImage.png"))
