how to set source for an image dynamically from pictures folder in MVVM ?Explain with an example if possible

this code will help you...

 private async void GetPicture_FromPicLib()
        {
            StorageFolder folder = KnownFolders.PicturesLibrary;
            StorageFile file =await folder.GetFileAsync("test1.jpg");

            IRandomAccessStream stream = await file.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read);
            BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage();
            img.SetSource(stream);
            this.imgControl.Source = img;
        }

the "test1.jpg" should be your file name that you are going to access and "imgControl" should be the Name of the img control that u have in the XAML.

Remember to get permission to access pictures library.

(from Package.appxmanifest->capabilities tab->check the 'Pictures Library' from left panel)
