Databind image source with RIA Services

[Rick Mueller]

I have a Coverflow control binded to basic Northwind category table with 8 images.
I have btyes[] text appear instead of image, I pass the binding thru a converter and the IE crashes on debugging
Please any thoughts?

<navigation:Page.Resources>
       <local:ImageConverter x:Key="ImgCon"/>
   </navigation:Page.Resources>
<telerik:RadCoverFlow DisplayMemberPath="Picture" ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=categoryDomainDataSource, Path=Data}" >
                               <telerik:RadCoverFlow.ItemTemplate>
                                   <DataTemplate>
                               <Border>
                                           <Image Source="{Binding Picture, Converter={StaticResource ImgCon}}"  telerik:RadCoverFlow.EnableLoadNotification="True" />
                               </Border>
                                   </DataTemplate>
                               </telerik:RadCoverFlow.ItemTemplate>
                           </telerik:RadCoverFlow>

  my Ria Service Source

<riaControls:DomainDataSource AutoLoad="True" d:DesignData="{d:DesignInstance my1:Category, CreateList=true}" Height="0" LoadedData="categoryDomainDataSource_LoadedData" Name="categoryDomainDataSource" QueryName="GetCategoriesQuery" >
            <riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
                <my1:RecipeContext />
            </riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
        </riaControls:DomainDataSource>

Converter

public class ImageConverter : IValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            BitmapImage bmi = new BitmapImage();
            if (value != null)
            {
                byte[] byteBlob = value as byte[];
                MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteBlob);
                bmi.SetSource(ms);
            }

            return bmi;
        }
        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

Hi Rick,

Can you attach all of the visual studio exceptions and try loading the example again. Hope that the error will appear this time with some more meaningful description as we are not able to determine the problem with the code you have send us.

All the best,
