XML doesn't support images. You have to store image as Base64 in XML.
This[^] might help you.

VB

Dim img As Image
Dim stream As New IO.MemoryStream()
Dim result As String
img = ' your image
img.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) ' or whatever format you want to use
result = Convert.ToBase64String(stream.ToArray)

and reverse to retrieve the image.

I have a small doubt. Converting images to string can make the size of XML large considering the fact that there are 500 images or more.

Sure. Idea of doing this is kind of silly, but this is OP's problem :-)
