Use local images in Webbrowser control

I'm using a Webbrowser Control in my Wp7 app, but I can't seem to put images that are in the App directory, in the webbrowser.

I've put some images in a folder in the same directory as the .cs and .xaml files. Now I try to put them in the webbrowser control, but I can't seem to get this to work.

<img src="images/photo.jpg"/>
<img src="/images/photo.jpg"/>

The two above obviously don't work, my guess is that it should be something like this:

<img src="/SilverlightApplication;component/photo.jpg"/>

"SilverlightApplication" and "component" should be replaced by something else, but I don't know what :(

Solution

  • You will need to store your images in the Isolated Storage and then display the images from there. I have put together a sample that you can download from the following location :-

    This is based on the MSDN article How to: Display Static Web Content Using the WebBrowser Control for Windows Phone.
