Images won't display on web (Silverlight VB)

Hi, This is a nubie question, I have a silverlight 5 (VB) application that runs fine and displays all 3 png images when I run it from my PC. When the app is put onto the web it doesn't show the png Images. The build I have selected for the png files is Resource? I checked the XAP.zip to see if the png files are there and they are.
I've done a bit of research and found that I may need some coding to enable me to get these up and running on the web unfortunately everything I've looked at is in C. I have found these two pieces of code :

XML

myIamge.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("../Image/computer.JPG", UriKind.Relative));

<Image x:Name="myIamge" Source="../computer.JPG"></Image>

Are these two pieces of code what I need?
Do I need them both together?
Does anyone know the conversion Of the first piece of code from c to vb


Is there anyone out there that can tell me how to do this in silverlight VB

Kind regards

Will.

Hi Jason, thanks for getting back to me. I'm sure that the answer is there but I'll be honest with you C is like looking at clingon to me. Is that answer at the address you gave me the only piece of code I need from there to convert into vb?
Thanks
Will.

Use one or the other. Which ever you prefer.

Do I need to do anything with the XAML? At present the png imajes are in a folder of there own in the same location as the MainPage.XMAL. The png files at present are loaded into the application via the standard silverlight controls and the XMAL code for the path to the png files was automatically generated. Do I need to do anything to this? Or do I just leave as is and use the code in your recommended answer.
Thanks
Will.
