I had a similar problem showing images (used Uri strings) in a listview in a Silverlight application. They appeared properly in Expression Blend, but were not visible when I started it from Visual studio.

I kept my images in a folder called Images in my project, by setting the "Build action" for my image properties into "Content" fixed the problem. Now they show up when running the application. Hope it helps!
