Defining a FlipViewMessage

C#

ImageSource image1Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///image1.png", UriKind.Absolute));
ImageSource image2Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///image2.png", UriKind.Absolute));
ImageSource image3Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///image3.png", UriKind.Absolute));

ImageMessage imageMessage1 = new ImageMessage(this.currentAuthor, image1Source); 
ImageMessage imageMessage2 = new ImageMessage(this.currentAuthor, image2Source); 
ImageMessage imageMessage3 = new ImageMessage(this.currentAuthor, image3Source);

List<ImageMessage> imageMessages = new List<ImageMessage>()
{
	imageMessage1, imageMessage2, imageMessage3
};

FlipViewMessage flipViewMessage = new FlipViewMessage(MessageDisplayPosition.Inline, this.currentAuthor, imageMessages);
