Blend and VS designer don't show images

Question

Hi,

why both Blend and VS designer don't show images at design time when loaded from a local or internet url?

For example, I have created a virtual directory with my images to mock UI in order to avoid to include them in the solution and have a bigger app size.

This doesn't show image in Blend and VS designer (at runtime, no problems, it works):

<Image Source="http://localhost/Mock/Images/TestImage.jpg" />

Answer 1

Thanks for reporting this issue. We have opened a bug on our end to track this

Answer 2

Hi,

setting Private Networks (Client & Server) in App Capabilities doesn't solve the problem. I still don't see images in Blend and VS Designer.
I don't think that capability is required because if I don't set it and I run the application, the image is shown.

Answer 3

Yes that's correct.
