Trying to display an image on either a stack panel or Image so I added both o see which I get to work, I also want to change images when buton is clicked
In my XAML
<StackPanel Height="518" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="1196,58,0,0" Name="stackPanel1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="417" />

<Image Height="202" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="522,457,0,0" Name="imgPhoto" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="435" />

For button 1 (Image)
imgPhoto.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("c:\\Temp\test.jpg"));

for button 2 (stackanel)
Image imgPhoto = new Image();
imgPhoto.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("c:\\Temp\test.jpg"));
stackPanel1.Children.Add(imgPhoto);

None of these methods work.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Your paths are invalid you either need to add a \ or add @ in front of your string and get rid of the extra \.

FYI in the future, "not working" is not a helpful description of any kind of a problem.

The path is correct, somehow the “\” dropped when trying to format the post.
In any case,
The program compiles without errors.
If I add other controls (text, button) , just to test it
TextBlock printTextBlock = new TextBlock();
printTextBlock.Text = "Demo Text";
stackPanel1.Children.Add(printTextBlock);

Button btn = new Button();
btn.Content = "Dynamic Button";
stackPanel1.Children.Add(btn);

it works fine but trying to add an image to either the stackpanel or Image controls

Image imgPhoto = new Image();
imgPhoto.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("c:\\Temp\\test.jpg"));
stackPanel1.Children.Add(imgPhoto);

No image is displayed in either control. The image is a 300x300
And thus the reason asking for help

Thank you

I tried to use the same code as ChauhanAjay recommended below. but the property BeginInit()/EndInit() cannot be found.

Image imgPhoto = new Image();
BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();
bitmap.BeginInit();
bitmap.UriSource = new Uri("c:\\Temp\test.jpg");
bitmap.EndInit();
imgPhoto.Source = bitmap;

Funny. Once I fixed your paths so that the code works, your exact code work for me.

Solution 1

Please change your code in the following format.

Image imgPhoto = new Image();
BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();
bitmap.BeginInit();
bitmap.UriSource = new Uri("c:\\Temp\test.jpg");
bitmap.EndInit();
imgPhoto.Source = bitmap;

Hope the above solution helps.
