Setting an Images Source

Question

Hi guys does anyone know how to set the source of an image to an image that has been added to my assets folder?

Thanks

Answer 1

You meant something like this ?

BitmapImage^ defaultCover = ref new BitmapImage( ref new Uri( "ms-appx:///Res//MusicCover.png"));

Answer 2

Yes and then setting that Bitmap as the source of an Image object?

Answer 3

BitmapImage^ defaultCover = ref new BitmapImage( ref new Uri( "ms-appx:///Res//MusicCover.png"));
Image->Source = defaultCover;

But be sure you're doing that in UI thread.
