Data binding and images

The exception only gets raised at runtime. The code builds fine.

Incidentally, if I use a converter class to convert the string to a bitmap image and bind to the source attribute on the image in the XAML it works fine, thus:

<Image Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Source="{Binding XPath=Image, Converter={StaticResource buttonImageConverter}}" />

public class ButtonImageConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
return new BitmapImage(new Uri(value.ToString(), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
}
}

So it's not a showstopper or anything.
