Unable to have images displayed

[CSurieux]

Hello,

new to silverlight, I am testing the book component.
I created a projet, and adapted the xaml from Telerik binding sample.
I am unable to have my image displayed, for
1) I have under my Silverlight project, Images/Telerik folder  with the same png I copied : using source="/BookTest/Images/Telerik/telerik.png" no success.
2) I also tried copying the full Images folder under the Default.aspx folder using source="/Images/Telerik/telerik.png" no success again.

Here is my code

Certainly an evidence !
Thanks for help.

Ok, I don't know why but it works with

<Image

 

Source="Images/myimage.png" />
as myimage.png is considered as a resourse by visual studio silverlight seems to be able to extract images resources with this strange 'relative url path' ?

Hi Christian,

You have to remove the forward slash from the source path, so instead of having Source="/BookTest/BookTest/Images/nice_crm.png" you have to have Source="BookTest/BookTest/Images/nice_crm.png". I am attaching the DataBinding sample. Have a look at it and let me know if you still experience the same issue.

Thank you Kiril,

With an asp.net background, this king of uri was dispointing.
Why the absolute version doesn't work ?

Hello Christian,

Here is an article that explains how URIs work in Silverlight:

Hope this helps.
