Help with Documentation and "Image"

[Craig]

In the documentation over at (http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/carousel-getting-started.html) we find the following snippet at the bottom when discussing how to add images to the carousel.  I'm sure this looks fine to you but where/what is "Image"?

List<Image> myImages = new List<Image>();
Image myImage = new Image();
myImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/Images/nature1.jpg", UriKind.Relative));
myImage.Height = 200;
myImage.Width = 200;
myImages.Add(myImage);

The only image I can find is System.Drawing.Image and that ain't it.  All that displays is a text block detailing the image's properties.  At least is displays something.

I have found vague references to this being a "UI Element" whatever that is.  I've been all over these forums, stackoverflow and the web in general, what am I missing here?

Hi Craig,

The Image class actually refers to System.Windows.Controls.Image and to use it you will need to add the following using:

using System.Windows.Controls;

I attached a sample project that demonstrates the approach from the "Display Images in RadCarousel" section of the Getting Started article.

On a side note for more information on what is an UI element you can check the UI Element Class msdn article.

I hope this helps.

Boris your sample app was very helpful as I was searching for something similar to Craig's question. I seriously get aggravated with some of the document for these tools. There are many glaring oversights (assumptions) that leave me really confused.

Thanks again!
