UWP - Image Uri in Application Folder

Question

I'm having a little issue here in showing images.

So when I'm trying to load images from XAML, I can use a relative uri to the image source like this :

<Image Source="/Assets/image.jpg" /> 

But if I try to change the image source programatically from code behind, I always get an exception and I'm sure it's because of the false Uri. I tried something like this :

BitmapImage bitmapImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/Assets/image.jpg")); 

Am I doing it wrong? Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

You can also use it with BaseUri.

BitmapImage bitmapImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(this.BaseUri, "/Assets/image.jpg")); 

Assets is a folder name and you can change it with your any custom folder name :)
