Converting URI -> object -> imagesource

img = new Image()
{
    Height = 150,
    Stretch = System.Windows.Media.Stretch.Fill,
    Width = 200
};
img.Source = (ImageSource) new ImageSourceConverter()
                .ConvertFromString("/FirstDemo;component/Images/Hero.jpg");

After hours of research, trying to assign an image to an image class. I came across this way of assigning an image. I have absolutely no idea why I this code does not run. It does not get any compiler error though.. Odd. its 11 25 pm here btw

Your URI string is probably broken, see the reference for more detail on how it should be composed (you might be missing "pack://application:,,," at the beginning).

In any case you should usually not use the ImageSourceConverter in code, it is intended for the XAML parser.

Instead use BitmapImage:

img.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("..."));

Do it this way:

img = new Image();
img.Height = 150;
img.Width = 200;
img.Stretch = Stretch.Fill;
img.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/FirstDemo;component/Images/Hero.jpg"));
