What is the best control and code required to use to display an image when you know its absolute URL?
I have been trying to figure this one out, but a solution eludes me.
But I know it can be done because there are lots of potential solutions out there.
Since there are hundreds of thousands of images I reference, it seems best to use links rather than load them all in a database.

Hi Andrew,
I'm not sure what you want to achieve. If you want to display images then the best control for this is Image control. Just set its Source property to the URL and it will do the rest.
There are some know limitations - only PNG and JPG formats are supported. In this link you can find more information about restrictions using URL:

Let us know if you need more information.

I was hoping you would have an improved control.
For some reason if I hard code a URL into the XAML it works, but I can't seem to bind to a string holding a URL.
And when I search around the internet, i get conflicting, and complicated approaches. Any chance you can show the way you would bind a simlle url to a jpg? Sorry to bother you with this.

Hi Andrew,
I've attached simple project demonstrating that Binding to absolute URL is working as expected.
The problem may occur is your start-up project is not the Web project. Then different rule applies about URL access policy. You can read more in the link from my previous post.
I hope that this project will help you.
Best wishes,

Thanks,
After hours of struggling, I found my problem was a change to IE setting that Live said I had to do to get live working for authentication.
So I managed to get it working, and it was of course simple.
In the code I set the DataContext and in xaml bound to the field name that holds the link (Link in my case). Nothing to it. Just tons of wasted time due to IE blocking the connection.
I appreciate your help given this was not anything to do with your products.
