I had a similar problem showing images (used Uri strings) in a listview in a Silverlight application. They appeared properly in Expression Blend, but were not visible when I started it from Visual studio.

I kept my images in a folder called Images in my project, by setting the "Build action" for my image properties into "Content" fixed the problem. Now they show up when running the application. Hope it helps!

One likely problem might be that the image file is in your project folder without being copied to the build folder; /bin/Release for example. The application then will not find the file anymore. You can either ensure that the image is being copied when the application is compiled (that alone may not work actually as unqualified URIs make the parser look for resources as far as i know, the designer however does not seem to care) or you can embed the image as a resource. I do not know how to change compile settings in Blend however as i only use Visual Studio...
