Why WPF's Image control has different Data format in XAML and C# code?

Question

Above is the code inside xaml，the Image1‘s Source can be a address（string），but inside the c# code, see The following picture，The Image’s Source can't be a string。

Is there a more convenient way doing this in C# code? thanks!!

Answer 1

This is the syntax of xaml. You could refer to the XAML overview in WPF and the Code-Behind and XAML in WPF.

The Image.Source Property is of the ImageSource type and uses the following method in Codebehind.

image1.Source= new BitmapImage(new Uri("li.png", UriKind.Relative));

Sample:

<StackPanel>
        <Image x:Name="image" Source="li.png " Width="200" Height="200"/>
        <Image x:Name="image1" Width="200" Height="200"/>
    </StackPanel>


Codebehind:


  public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            image1.Source= new BitmapImage(new Uri("li.png", UriKind.Relative));
            
        }

The result:
