WPF GifBitmapDecoder Uri Relative Path Issue

I am trying to set the uriString of a Uri object to a relative path for use in a GifBitmapDecoder.

At runtime i get the following error:

Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.

My relative path follows the following format:

/TestApplication;component/Images/Busy.gif

If i use the absolute path to the image, all works perfectly!

Any help would be appreciated!

    I was missing the following: pack://application:,,, infront of my relative path.
