Hi guys

I am new to silverlight. I am looking for a tutorial that can show me how to consume images from WCF service using Silverlight.
What I am hoping to achieve is:
Have a WCF that accesses a database and possibly handle some getImage methods.
I would want a Silverlight based client to call the methods and expose the images.

I hope this can be achieved.

Many thanks

Hi,

What are you storing in your database? Is it image location (means complete path) or the image as a stream?

If it is the image path, then send the path as a string to your client and then assign it to the Image Source or use WebClient to download the image and set it to the image source.

If you are directly storing the image into your database, then retrieve it as a Stream and assign to your image.

Let me know, if any issues.
