Did you declare the Picture Library Access capability?  In order to programmatically access the pictures folder from a Metro style app, you need to declare that your application requires it.

There's an overview available here:

You should be able to do this by double-clicking the "package.appxmanifest" file in Visual Studio and going to the Capabilities tab.

Hi, Jesse,

Thanks for your reply first and sorry for my late response.

I did to add the package.appxmanifest. But fail to see the pictures when running it.

I changed by another method to get the image now.

I tried it by using file stream then create new BitmapImage.

The result is success.

But I do not think I should do so many thing to load a image.

It seems not smart even I know it's logical.

I guess I still had something wrong but I do not know why.

Thanks for your reply again.
