Question

I am currently working on a WPF application where I want the user to be able to click a button that places an image to the screen.

Currently I have a group box area which I want the images to show up. When the user click the “Another Picture” button, a new image object is created inside the group box and another picture is displayed within the group box (with the previous one still beside it). I am thinking that using the group box would work best so that the images will re-size automatically by the number of objects in the group box.

Really all i need to know is, is it possible to create an image object through the xaml.cs and if so how can i do it (and get it to go inside of the specified group box)

Thanks

I think your looking for this:

Image i = new Image();     
BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage(); 
bi.BeginInit(); 
bi.UriSource = new Uri("plane.png", UriKind.Relative); 
bi.EndInit(); 
i.Source = bi;
