    Dictionary<string,string> resources = new Dictionary<string,string>();
    resources["logo"] = new Uri(new Uri(string.Format("{0}://{1}{2}", System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Scheme, System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority, Url.Content("~"))), "/Content/images/logo.png").ToString();

URI formats are not supported.

Answer 1

Resource paths should be local paths on disk, not URLs.

Write

resources["logo"] = Server.MapPath("~/Content/images/logo.png");
