How to load image to WPF in runtime?

by

In WPF an image is typically loaded from a Stream or an Uri.

BitmapImage supports both and an Uri can even be passed as constructor argument:

var uri = new Uri("http://...");
var bitmap = new BitmapImage(uri);

If the image file is located in a local folder, you would have to use a file:// Uri. You could create such a Uri from a path like this:

var path = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "Bilder", "sas.png");
var uri = new Uri(path);

If the image file is an assembly resource, the Uri must follow the the Pack Uri scheme:

var uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Bilder/sas.png");

In this case the Visual Studio Build Action for sas.png would have to be Resource.

Once you have created a BitmapImage and also have an Image control like in this XAML

<Image Name="image1" />

you would simply assign the BitmapImage to the Source property of that Image control:

image1.Source = bitmap;
