how can I load an image into an Image control at runtime - and have it show ? [modified]

I have a System.Windows.Controls.Image on my window, designed at runtime. No Source is specified. What I'd like to do is specify what image to load whilst the program is running. I've tried: ImageLogo.Source = New Imaging.BitmapImage(New Uri(strLogoFilepath, UriKind.Absolute)) (strLogoFilepath contains the absolute location of the .jpg) but nothing is shown! After this statement the actualheight of the control is still 0.0 :confused: :( How can I get the image control to show the jpg at runtime ?

This is right.It seems some problems with the path or may be of your XAML.

Actualheight is not updated at all (it stays fixed to whatever value it is set to at design time), so I did this: 'load images according to configuration Dim BitmapImageHeader As New Imaging.BitmapImage BitmapImageHeader.BeginInit() BitmapImageHeader.UriSource = New Uri(strLogoFilepath, UriKind.Absolute) BitmapImageHeader.EndInit() ImageLogo.Source = BitmapImageHeader ImageLogo.Height = ImageLogo.Source.Height I then recalculated the margins for the rest of the controls and I was done. I thought I had read that actualheight is always correct... maybe I remembered it wrong ? heh
