                    { 
        
                        var cellImage = new Image() { Width = 50, Height = 50 }; 
        
                        string imageUri = string.Empty; 
        
                        // here i just get a URL 
        
                        Dictionary<String, String> mapData = MainPage._Gfields[this.DataMemberBinding.Path.Path].ValueMap.MapData; 
        
                        if (mapData.ContainsKey((string)cell.Value)) 
        
                            imageUri = mapData[(string)cell.Value]; 
        
                        else 
        
                            imageUri = mapData["*"]; 
        
                        // image URL is like: http://some-remote-URL/sample.gif 
        
                        cellImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(imageUri, UriKind.Absolute));
