Unable to load web images

[Hans Notelteirs]

Hi,

I'm having a problem loading images from the web inside my Coverflow.

I am using a Coverflow example that was posted in another thread named "CoverflowItemTemplate", because I need a description of my image. When I place the next code in my silverlight xaml file, the image is displayed correctly:

<Image Source="http://www.sterrennieuws.be/foto/1212315926.jpg" Width="280" Height="280" />

The ItemSource of my Coverflow I place in code like this:

var pictures = new List<PictureDetails>();

pictures.Add(new PictureDetails { Name = "CrossDomain", Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri("http://www.sterrennieuws.be/foto/1212315926.jpg", UriKind.Absolute)) }); 

for (int i = 1; i <= 21; i++)

{

       pictures.Add(new PictureDetails { Name = "Image" + i, Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri(string.Format("Images/nature{0}.png", i), UriKind.Relative)) });

}

coverFlow.ItemsSource = pictures;

The relative images are shown correctly, but the absolute one isn't loaded at all..

Is there anything I forgot to do?

Thanks in advance

Hi Hans,

Please, make sure you are running your application from a web application (or at least from a web server). If you run a Silverlight application locally (the address in the address bar is a local path) the application doesn't have access to the Internet because of security issues.

If you are not sure about this, please put a simple Image control with Source property set to the image that causes problems and check does it loads correctly. If it does not - this is the issue.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

As you could see in my previous post I have already tried that:

When I place the next code in my silverlight xaml file, the image is displayed correctly:

<Image Source="http://www.sterrennieuws.be/foto/1212315926.jpg" Width="280" Height="280" />

So the image is displayed when I use a simple Image control, but not when I use the Coverflow.

Another strange thing is, when I try out the project on my local machine it displays in the Coverflow.

But when I put the project on my virtual development machine, it doesn't work.

Now I did a few tests to get the Coverflow working, and it seems that the Image is displayed in the Coverflow if I also put that same image in an image control. So if I have http://www.test.com/1.jpg and http://www.test.com/2.jpg in the Coverflow and I put an Image Control on the page with source http://www.test.com/1.jpg, only this image is displayed in Coverflow. The other one is set as loading...

Thanks in advance
