Question

I am trying to add some images to a FlipView using the following code:

for (int N = 1; N < 30; N++)
{
    string name = String.Format(@"ms-appx:/Gallery/{0:00}.jpg", N);
    Uri uri = new Uri(name);
    BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage(uri);
    MainFlipView.Items.Add(img);
}

but it only displays some texts. I defined the FlipView in my XAML:

    <FlipView x:Name="MainFlipView">
    </FlipView>

What should I do?

The text showing is a call to the ToString method of the BitmapImage because you have no DataTemplate defined. Define on:

<FlipView>
    <FlipView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Image Source="{Binding}" />
         </DataTemplate>
    </FlipView.ItemTemplate>
 </FlipView>
