Question

I have saved (Write) an image to “LocalFolder” not being picked up by the notification Toast.

StorageFolder systemLocalFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
string path = systemLocalFolder.Path + "\\" + R.GetResourceString("CachedImageFolder") +
                                "\\" + R.GetResourceString("CachedImagePrefix") + contact + ".png";
path = path.Replace(@"\", @"/");
path = @"file:///" + path;
image.SetAttribute("src", path);
binding.AppendChild(image);

After setting this image , the toast does not show up.

However doing this:

image.SetAttribute("@Assets/Logo.png", path);

Does show up the toast with the image.

But i want to write a file and then use it and not pick from App Package.

Win8+XAML+C#

The file:/// protocol isn’t supported for Windows 8 Store apps BUT you don’t need it anyway. Something like this should get you there:

path = @"ms-appdata:///local/" + R.GetResourceString("CachedImageFolder") + "/" 
            + R.GetResourceString("CachedImagePrefix") + contact + ".png";
