how to show an image in a grid
posted

Hi,

yes I've had a look on the examples, but they don't realy helped me.

I want to show data of machines in a grid. I get the machine data from a database, and each machine has also an jpg in the filesystem. The machine class has a property with the filename (absolute path).

I have also a XamGrid on a page and set the ItemSource to an ObservableCollection(of clsMachine). The grid has an imageColumn, and the key of these column corresponds with the propertyname, which holds the filename.

But there are no images after running the project.

Can anyone help me?

    Hi Bodo, 

    Silverlight can't load anything from the file system directly due to security constraints. Instead, you would have to make the image a local resource, or host it from a server.
