Question

I’m trying to import an image into an “Image” box in c#.

I have found when doing it in XAML it’s just

source = "file location"

but when I try the following code in C#

myimage.source = "image.png"

my image being the name of the “Image” box it just returns this error:

Error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Windows.Media.ImageSource'

when looking online everyone seems to just quote using picture box but I don’t have access to picture boxes, and if I didn’t and point in the program “myimage” is displaying a live video stream. So, an image box is required I think.

Check this link out.

In C# it would be:

Image myImage = new Image();
myImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("myPicture.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
