Local HTML using Content Image

Question

I have an HTML string which, in my webview I am using NavigateToString to show.  I have several images in my project which are marked as content and copy local.  I was wondering how I can link to those images?  In my xaml they show up in the Image object.

Any help would be great!,

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi cwang733t,

How about using base64 to encode the image and insert into the HTML code, that is a possible way to load local image into the WebView.

How do I get to the file.  It does not show up in:

StorageFolder appFolder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var files = await appFolder.GetFilesAsync();

Answer 3

Hi cwang733t,

Yes, it should like this, however I did not see your other codes, I don't know how you convert the image to base64 string, I found some sample online: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Loading-Image-into-WebView-a3f68921

Take a look to see if this helps :)
